ADO version 1.5
Oracle Version 8



ParentTable (PrimaryKey = primkey)
ChildTable

SQL= SELECT ParentTable.*, childTable.special_field
FROM ParentTable, childtable
WHERE ParentTable.primkey=childtable.primkey (+)


The childtable is not required but there can be no child orphans.

If there are childtable records, the query returns the SQL statement correctly.

If there is NO childtable records, then the ParentTable primkey is returned as a "null". Why? How can a primkey (primary key) be returned as a "null"? This only happens on this single parent\child relationship. It does not happen for any other parent\child relationship.

Thanks!!!

The actual piece of code is:

<%
' Parent Primary Key : TCLTISS.ISS_SYS_NR
' Child Foriegn Key : TCLTRSN.ISS_SYS_NR

MYDSN="DSN=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx;UID=xxxxxx;pwd=xxxxxxxx"
MYSQL="
SELECT
TCLTISS.*,
TCLTRSN.*,
TCLIPRO.CMT_TE_SYS_NR AS SUM_CMT_SYS_NR,

TCLFSGM.*,
TDMCMNT.CMT_TE AS SUMMARY,
VRHRGML.ARC_MDL_NR
FROM TCLTISS, TCLTRSN, TCLIPRO, TCLIREC, TCLFSGM, TDMCMNT,VRHRGML
WHERE
TCLTISS.ISS_SYS_NR = TCLIPRO.ISS_SYS_NR (+) AND
