Question

I am not sure what I am missing but I know it should not be this hard. I have two tables. First table lists all the possible jobs for a site. The second table has when a job was completed at a site. I want a query where by I get all the possible jobs and join in the data from the seconds table should there be some. Site that have not completed the job would have a NULL value.

Example:

Table 1:
ID
name
decsription

Table 2:
ID
siteID
status
jobID

SELECT table1.* , table2.*
FROM table1
LEFT JOIN table2
ON table1.id = table2.jobID
WHERE siteID = 12

This only returns jobs that have been completed and not all jobs completed and uncompleted.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

you should drop then where statement (when the row in second table is emty it doesn’t meet the condition siteID=12) or change it (add “OR siteID is NULL” ) if you want this specific site or null
