SQL - Join Help

My query is not picking up records when a row does not exist in the PHONE table. I'm not sure how to include a proper JOIN on this table.

SELECT LID.LID, 
PERSON.HRLN, 
PERSON.HRFN,
PERSON.HRMI,
HA.STREETLINE1,
HA.STREETLINE2,
HA.CITY,
HA.STATE,
HA.ZIPCODE,
HA.COUNTRY,
L1.DESCRIPTION,
EE.HRDEPTDESC,
EE.HRDEPTID,
EMP2.CONFIG1,
EMP2.CONFIG2,
EMP2.BCT_GROUP,
EMP2.BCT_COORDINATOR,
PH.PHONENUM

FROM LID LID, PERSON PERSON, LOCATION L1, LID_LOC L2, HOME_ADDRESS HA, EMP2 EMP2, EMPLOYEE EE, PHONE PH
WHERE LID.LID=PERSON.LID 
AND HA.PERSONID = PERSON.PERSONID
AND EMP2.PERSONID = PERSON.PERSONID
AND EE.PERSONID = PERSON.PERSONID
AND PH.LID = LID.LID
AND PH.PRIMARY_PHONE = 'Y'
AND LID.LID_TYPE='PERSON'
AND LID.STATUS = 'A'
AND L1.LOCATIONID=L2.LOCATIONID AND L2.PERSONID=PERSON.PERSONID
AND ((PERSON.ENTITYID = 'LWS'
AND L1.LOCATIONID NOT IN (10551,10695, 10698))
OR (PERSON.ENTITYID = 'LHT'
AND L1.LOCATIONID IN (10539,10508,10509,10510,10511)))   
ORDER BY PERSON.HRLN

Because you need to be doing a left join not an inner join. Don't list your tables you're joining in the from statement, use proper join statements.

Lee is right.

What database are you using?

try it like this

SELECT LID.LID, 
PERSON.HRLN, 
PERSON.HRFN,
PERSON.HRMI,
HA.STREETLINE1,
HA.STREETLINE2,
HA.CITY,
HA.STATE,
HA.ZIPCODE,
HA.COUNTRY,
L1.DESCRIPTION,
EE.HRDEPTDESC,
EE.HRDEPTID,
EMP2.CONFIG1,
EMP2.CONFIG2,
EMP2.BCT_GROUP,
EMP2.BCT_COORDINATOR,
PH.PHONENUM

FROM PERSON
inner join LID on LID.LID=PERSON.LID 
inner join HOME_ADDRESS HA on HA.PERSONID = PERSON.PERSONID
inner join EMP2 ON EMP2.PERSONID = PERSON.PERSONID
inner join EMPLOYEE EE ON EE.PERSONID = PERSON.PERSONID
left join PHONE PH on PH.LID = LID.LID 
inner join LID_LOC L2 on L2.PERSONID=PERSON.PERSONID
inner join LOCATION L1 on L1.LOCATIONID = L2.LOCATIONID 
where PH.PRIMARY_PHONE = 'Y'
AND LID.LID_TYPE='PERSON'
AND LID.STATUS = 'A'
AND ((PERSON.ENTITYID = 'LWS'
AND L1.LOCATIONID NOT IN (10551,10695, 10698))
OR (PERSON.ENTITYID = 'LHT'
AND L1.LOCATIONID IN (10539,10508,10509,10510,10511)))   
ORDER BY PERSON.HRLN

Still only returns data when there is a row in PHONE table.
