The (+) indicates an OUTER JOIN.
This should work:
SELECT A1.store_name, SUM(A2.Sales) SALES FROM Georgraphy A1 LEFT JOIN Store_Information A2 ON A1.store_name = A2.store_name GROUP BY A1.store_name;

Hello, I am working through a sql tutorial, and would like to perform this (written for oracle) outer join using mysql.
SELECT A1.store_name, SUM(A2.Sales) SALES FROM Georgraphy A1, Store_Information A2 WHERE A1.store_name = A2.store_name (+) GROUP BY A1.store_name
I am reading the docs, but do not understand. Could someone please give me a hand with this?
Thanks, Scott Purcell
