This is how I use it usually.

Ok, I didn't know what the "trigger" was : outer joins, ok.
I have this query working :
select profil,count(og.name)
from ldap l
left join uidinoldgroups ug on l.uid=ug.uid
left join oldgroups og on og.id=ug.idgroupe and og.rne='0410030k' and og.type='g'
where l.profilgeneral='P'
and l.rne='0410030k'
group by l.profil
But if I put :
and og.rne='0410030k' and og.type='g'
in the where part (what you suggested and what I did naturally), I get 0 results which is quite confusing (because it's an outer join).
Also, if I replace these with full outer joins, I still get 0 results.
With my data, if I replace og.type='g' with og.type='m' I get MOST OF my resultats back (those where the count() returns more than zero). I know this is specific to my data but I really don't get the behaviour.
Thanks for your help,
JC
