simple OUTER JOIN (I thought)

#1

Two tables:

Fruit
fruitID, fruitName

Basket
buyerID, fruitID

(ie. we can see which buyer has what fruit in their basket)

I simply want to display all available fruit and whether or not it's
in a specific persons' basket.

SELECT Fruit.fruitID, Fruit.fruitName, IsNull(buyerID, 0)
FROM Fruit INNER JOIN Basket ON Fruit.fruitID = Basket.fruitID
WHERE Basket.buyerID = 12

but this just gives me what's in buyer 12s' basket.

What am I doing wrong? Am I a basket case...

#2

Ah yes, never put your criteria into a WHERE clause.

SELECT Fruit.fruitID, Fruit.fruitName, IsNull(buyerID, 0)
FROM Fruit INNER JOIN Basket ON Fruit.fruitID = Basket.fruitID AND
Basket.buyerID = 12

gives me what I wanted.

Forget this post.

^^^^^ OUTER, surely?
Basket.buyerID = 12

gives me what I wanted.
