hi.

i've got a situation, where i'm trying to figure out how to select an item
from tblA that may/maynot be in tblB.

if the item is only in tblA, i can easilty get a list of the items
 select * from tblA

if the item is in tblA but not linked to tblB, i can get the items as well
 select * from tblA where id not in (select id from tblB);

but i have no idea how to combine the two selects..

i need to combine them, as the app can create tblA for a given item, and
then later on create the data in tblB, with thblA.id = tblB.aid.

thoughts/pointers on this would be appreciated.

thanks!
