The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

ODBC Left Outer Join Syntax

Zone:

Visual Basic Programming

Tags:

getting, left, odbc, syntax

Hello,

I'm having trouble getting the left outer join syntax to behave properly. I'm using ODBC to connect to an sql server. The syntax is straight forward but the returned recordset is an inner join and does not contain a record unless it is found in both tables. I've tried using the *= operator but it is not supported with ODBC. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've include sample of the syntax I've tried.

Thanks in advance,

Jay Denis

The following returns a recordset which is really an inner join...

SELECT * FROM Inventory LEFT OUTER JOIN InventoryAverages ON Inventory.Upc = InventoryAverages.Upc

The following generates an error stating that the operator is not supported but this works fine in the query analyzer...

SELECT * FROM Inventory, InventoryAverages WHERE Inventory.Upc *= InventoryAverages.Upc
