Jacques1 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Filling up missing rows with NULLs is the whole point of a left join. If you don't want that, don't use it. Your excessive use of subqueries is also a bit strange. You know that you can operate on tables directly, right? SELECT col1, col2, ... FROM table1 JOIN table2 ON ... WHERE ...; Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/303104-leaving-out-null-rows/#findComment-1542311 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Jacques1 Posted February 5, 2017 Solution Share Posted February 5, 2017 A human-readable version of your query: SELECT player_details.player_id AS P_id, CONCAT(player_details.Fname, ' ', player_details.Lname) AS pname, positions.position_id, positions.position FROM Soka_player_details_tbl AS player_details JOIN Soka_players_team_tbl AS team_players ON team_players.player_id = player_details.player_id JOIN tbl_season AS seasons ON seasons.SeasonID = team_players.SeasonID JOIN Soka_position_tbl AS positions ON positions.position_id = team_players.position_id WHERE seasons.Publish AND team_players.Team_catId = '1' ORDER BY team_players.position_id ASC ; (untested) Your table and column names definitely need to be improved (rAnDOM ChAnGES oF CHarActER caSE and random tbl_ prefixes and suffixes aren't very helpful). I've used aliases for now. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/303104-leaving-out-null-rows/#findComment-1542312 Share on other sites More sharing options...
