Peter,
This returns 1280 rows, none of which are have a NULL value for sum. This
surprised me at first as I thought the WHERE clause should apply before the
OUTER JOIN but apparently not. I then tried the following:
what gives you the impression that WHERE clauses should be applied before the JOINs ?
Clearly that is different. First joins, then where
propably you want sth like:
SELECT phones.CALLINGSTATIONID, sum(radacct.acctinputoctets)
FROM phones
LEFT OUTER JOIN
(select * from raddact where radacct.ACCTSTARTTIME BETWEEN '2006-05-17 15:16:42' AND '2006-08-16 15:16:42' OR radacct.ACCTSTARTTIME ISNULL) raddact
ON (phones.CALLINGSTATIONID =
radacct.CALLINGSTATIONID ) WHERE
phones.CUSTID = 1
GROUP BY phones.CALLINGSTATIONID;
best wishes Harald
