SELECT a.LEAVE_CATEG_ID, a.LEAVE_TYPE_CD, a.LPET_LONG_DD, Sum(l.ORIGINAL_INPUT_AM) FROM EFF_LEVPOL_EVNT_TYPE_TBL a, LEAVE_DETL_TBL l WHERE a.LEAVE_TYPE_CD(+) = l.evnt_type_cd AND l.INTERNAL_EMPL_ID='0000000357' AND l.EFFECTIVE_DT Between TO_DATE('01/01/2001','MM/DD/YYYY') And TO_DATE('12/31/2001','MM/DD/YYYY') GROUP BY a.LEAVE_CATEG_ID, a.LEAVE_TYPE_CD, a.LPET_LONG_DD;
This should work if you are looking for LEAVE_DETL_TBL records without records in EFF_LEVPOL_EVNT_TYPE, which does not sound right. I'm thinking you want the "a" records even when there is no supporting "l" records: SELECT a.LEAVE_CATEG_ID, a.LEAVE_TYPE_CD, a.LPET_LONG_DD, Sum(l.ORIGINAL_INPUT_AM) FROM EFF_LEVPOL_EVNT_TYPE_TBL a, LEAVE_DETL_TBL l WHERE l.LEAVE_TYPE_CD(+) = a.evnt_type_cd AND l.INTERNAL_EMPL_ID(+) = '0000000357' AND l.EFFECTIVE_DT Between TO_DATE('01/01/2001','MM/DD/YYYY') And TO_DATE('12/31/2001','MM/DD/YYYY') GROUP BY a.LEAVE_CATEG_ID, a.LEAVE_TYPE_CD, a.LPET_LONG_DD; But then the date range gives you a problem, so: SELECT a.LEAVE_CATEG_ID, a.LEAVE_TYPE_CD, a.LPET_LONG_DD, Sum(decode(sign(l.EFFECTIVE_DT - TO_DATE('01/01/2001','MM/DD/YYYY'), 1,0,NULL,0, decode(l.EFFECTIVE_DT - TO_DATE('12/31/2001','MM/DD/YYYY'), 1, 0 , l.ORIGINAL_INPUT_AM ) ) ) FROM EFF_LEVPOL_EVNT_TYPE_TBL a, LEAVE_DETL_TBL l WHERE l.LEAVE_TYPE_CD(+) = a.evnt_type_cd AND l.INTERNAL_EMPL_ID(+) = '0000000357' GROUP BY a.LEAVE_CATEG_ID, a.LEAVE_TYPE_CD, a.LPET_LONG_DD; Nasty - or is my initial guess off base?
