hi!


SELECT distinct a.EML_ADDRESS


from test.eml a, eml_addr_t b


where a.eml_address = b.eml_address(+)


and b.eml_address is null



seems to work. when i first did it without the null statement it
returned values that existed in both tables.  why do i have to search
for nulls? i am confused about that.



thanks a million!
