Thanks codeWarrior - you got me 99% there - I just needed to add the NULL
"trick" on the join w/ the contact_phone and contact_address tables and that
got me the results I was after!
This is what I the final qry looks like :
SELECT
A.account_id,
A.account_username,
V.vendor_contract_signed_date,
CE.contact_email,
CN.contact_name_first,
CA.contact_address_1,
CP.contact_phone
FROM
account A
LEFT JOIN contact_phone CP ON (CP.account_id = A.account_id OR
CP.account_id IS NULL)
LEFT JOIN contact_address CA ON (CA.account_id = A.account_id OR
CA.account_id IS NULL)
JOIN vendor V ON (V.vendor_id = A.account_id)
JOIN contact_email CE ON (CE.account_id = A.account_id OR
CE.account_idIS NULL)
JOIN contact_name CN ON (CN.account_id = A.account_id)
JOIN domain_type DT ON (CE.domain_type_id = DT.domain_type_id AND
CN.domain_type_id = DT.domain_type_id AND CP.domain_type_id =
DT.domain_type_id OR CN.domain_type_id IS NULL OR CP.domain_type_id IS NULL
)
JOIN account_type AT ON (AT.account_type_id = A.account_type_id)
HAVING AT.account_type_tag = 'ACCOUNT_VENDOR' AND DT.domain_type_tag =
'VENDOR_PRIMARY'
Thanks for the help!

Fisrt -- you probably want to start by doing fully qualified JOINS and

you want to allow joins with nulls on the columns that are allowed to be
empty: I am doing this sort of off the top of my head ... but the thing
you
need to do generally is to COMPLETELY QUALIFY all of your joins and then
use
the "OR field IS NULL" trick. That should solve your problem.

Hello all,
Ive been racking my brain for a few hours now and need some help,
please!!!
I have the following tables :
account
=account_id
=account_type_id
=account_username
vendor
=account_id
=vendor_status
contact_name
=account_id
=name
=domain_type_id
contact_address
=account_id
=address
=domain_type_id
contact_email
=account_id
=email
=domain_type_id
contact_phone
=account_id
=phone
=domain_type_id
account_type
=account_type_id
= account_type_tag
records :
1 VENDOR
2 SELLER
3 CONTRACTOR
domain_type
=domain_type_id
=domain_type_tag
records :
1 PRIMARY
2 SECONDARY
Im looking for a select that will give me all records where the
account_type_tag ="VENDOR" and domain_type_tag = "PRIMARY"
even if the address, email and phone are blank.
Users WILL HAVE records in the following tables :
account,
vendor
contact_name
contact_email
they MAY or MAYNOT have records in the following tables :
contact_address
contact_phone
I know I have to use a left join - but I can seem to figure out the syntax
when dealing w/ different columns of the same table.
Im basically looking for this :
account_username vendor_status name address
email phone
-
Rob123 ACTIVE ROB 123
Test Drive[EMAIL PROTECTED]555-1212
BILL123 ACTIVE Bill
NULL [EMAIL PROTECTED] 456-
Steve1234 INACTIVE Steve 654
Hill St [EMAIL PROTECTED] NULL
I know I have to use a left join - but I can seem to figure out the syntax
when dealing w/ different columns of the same table.
(do I still need the = in the where clause when using a left join?)
SELECT
account.account_id,
account.account_username,
vendor.vendor_status,
contact_name.name,
contact_address.address,
contact_email.email,
contact_phone.phone
FROM
account a
LEFT JOIN contact_phone on (contact_phone.account_id = a.account_id)
LEFT JOIN contact_address on (contact_address.account_id = a.account_id),
vendor,
contact_email,
contact_name,
domain_type,
account_type,
WHERE
vendor.vendor_id = account.account_id AND
contact_email.account_id = account.account_id AND
contact_name.account_id = account.account_id AND
account.account_type_id = account_type.account_type_id AND
contact_email.domain_type_id = domain_t
