This is going to be simple, I'm sure, but I'm stumped. It's a little long but I thought as I wrote it out I'd get the aha! moment and since that didn't happen, here goes.

To get the output I want above, I'd think I'd need to do a left outer join like this: jross@wykids localhost# select ed_cat_name as "Level", pp_ed_cat_subject as "Subject", pp_ed_cat_institution as "Institution" from education_categories left outer join people_education_categories on (ed_cat_id = pp_ed_cat_id) where pp_ed_cat_pp_id = 1796; but that only gives me this: Level | Subject | Institution -----------+--------------------------------+------------- Bachelors | Elementary Education/Fine Arts | (1 row)
Its the "where pp_ed_cat_pp_id = 1796" that is causing it, not the join. try adding "or pp_ed_cat_pp_id is null" -Andy -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
