sql server misc: Hi, I'm trying to left outer join two tables onto one. For some reason the
table is losing some of the left table data (vw_standard_costing_items).
Please can you tell me why, and a fix please?



I'm left outer joining

vw_standard_costing_budgeted_amount

and

vw_standard_costing_purchase_price

onto

vw_standard_costing_items




Thanks,

Raj (Newbie)

Why did you post to "alt.php.sql"? Does the select statement work OK
in some external application and does not work OK in PHP?
Why did you post to so many different "microsoft.public.sqlserver.*"
groups? "microsoft.public.sqlserver.programming" should be
enough.

What data from "vw_standard_costing_items" is missing from the
output?
