The following query returns all 8 prayer request categories with the total #
of requests every submitted to each category:

SELECT `prayer_request_category`.`reference` ,
`prayer_request_category`.`category` , COUNT(
`prayer_requests`.`reference` ) AS category_request_count
FROM `prayer_request_category`
LEFT OUTER JOIN `prayer_requests` ON `prayer_request_category`.`reference` =
`prayer_requests`.`prayer_request_category_reference`
GROUP BY `prayer_request_category`.`reference`
ORDER BY `prayer_request_category`.`category` ASC

I would like to add the following 2 WHERE conditions to this query so only
the live prayer requests are included in the COUNT:

`prayer_requests`.`approval_level` IN ( 1, 3 )
`prayer_requests`.`prayer_request_type` = 1

When I do this only the categories with live prayer requests are returned,
instead of all 8 categories. Is there a way to build these WHERE conditions
which will still allow all 8 categories to be included in the result?
Thank you,

Ron

Dear Ron

Take your condition to ON cluause. So your on clause (for LEFT JOIN) would
read something like

ON `prayer_request_category`.`
reference` =3D `prayer_requests`.`prayer_request_category_reference`
AND

`prayer_requests`.`approval_
level` IN ( 1, 3 )
`prayer_requests`.`prayer_request_type` =3D 1



=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
