out joins problem

edited October 2003 in General
I am using RB 7.03. When I build the sql statement using the query wizard
or query designer, I can select to have tables join as left outer and right
outer. However, the outer joins do not appear to work based on the sql
statement generated and the resulting data records.

Is there a setting I have missed or a bug? Obviously this is pretty
critical to accurate reporting.

Thanks,
BT

    For the Designer.DataSettings check that you are using the correct values
    for DatabaseType and SQLType.

    You have not specified what database product your are using. Outer join
    syntax varies from product to product quite a bit. If the settings above do
    not work, we need more details.

    I had theDatabaseType set to dtMSSQLServer and the SQLType set to sqSQL1.
    It appears to work but the Left / Right Outer Joins do not effect the SQL
    statement generated. I just changed to SQL3 for the SQLType and the problem
    is resolved.

    Thank you for the solution.

    Thanks,
    Bob
