Hi
Having a bit of bother with this one, wondering if anyone has the answer,
I've got two tables one is News items
News_ID News etc...
1 Today in .....etc
2 Hello world .....etc
3 Blar di blar....etc
4 And now time for something else
.
.
100 The last thing
and the other is comments on the news items (as well as other things on the
web site)
Type Comment_ID Comment etc...
News 1 What about today then...
News 1 This is still today...........
News 4 This parot is dead......
NotNews 4 Hello..............
What I am trying to get is one SELECT statment that will give me
News_ID News Comment_Count etc...
1 Today in ... 2
2 Hello world. 0
3 Blar di blar 0
4 And now ...etc 1
I've tried quite a few SELECTs using LEFT JOIN and HAVING and the best I can
do is a news list showing only Items that have Comments so the above would
have returned only NEWS_ID 1 and 4 but not giving 2 and 3 were I want
1,2,3,4.....100.
Please help, sorry if this is kids stuff but I'm only just starting with
MySQL.
Cheers Karl.
