I am wanting to see if there is a way to do a join but have count(id) show up as 0 when there is no records in the 2nd table. With out having to 2 selects.
for example. orderid = has persons name and contact info select oi.id,oi.name, count(o.id) from orderid oi, orders o where o.order_id = oi.id group by oi.id; you have say 100 records in orderid , and only 50 of them have related orders in orders for those that don't have matching orders I would want count(o.id) to show 0 rather then not being listed. Any way to do this in a single sql statment ?
