Hi, If I have the following query:
Select a.column1, count(*) from a, b where a.column2 = b.column2 It works correctly, it displays the correct number in the count. However there are records that don't meet the criteria 'where a.column2 = b.column2' So I modified the query: Select a.column1, count(*) from a, b where a.column2 = b.column2(+) Now with (+) it displays every record, but the problem is that in case there is no relation, the count displays 1 instead of 0. In other cases it is good. But I can't decide from the program if it's 1 because it had 1 relation in table b, or 1 because it hadn't got any relation. Can you help me work around this problem?
