Hello,
 Learning SQL - will appreciate any help.  Here is the case:

Two tables with 0..n relationship

TableA                  TableB
-----------             --------------
ColA                    ColB
                           ColA_FK
                           Col_C

Data
TableA.ColA



 1
 2

Table B
ColB ColA_FK Col_C

 11      2              12345
 12      2              99999

 Resultset:



 ColA ColB Col_C
 1       -        -
 2       12       99999

 In case no data exists in TableB for ColA=11, 1 from TableA shows up in result without any data from TableB
 However, in case of 2 from ColA, we want to record from TableB with Col_C = 99999

I can do the outer join - however, how do I limit it so it picks only the row with 9999?

Thanks in advance.
