Author left outer join

Hi!

I wish to join two tables.

The first one is:

....which contains the hours from 00 to 23.

The second is this my query, which I would like to return rows also in cases where the Amount of CreationTime is zero. That is, I would like to join in null values from the tblTempVarauksienKel
lonaika-table. But, why doesnät my query do that, as it is?

everything you return come from the "B" table!
how can you return null values if the left join table is not use has the primary source for the select statement?
?

also, move the where clause into the "on" part of the query like:

select vk.hour , B...., B.....
from VK left join B
on vk.hour = left(b.creationtime,2) AND b.creationdate between......
group by VK.HOUR

has you can see, the hour returned is the hour fron the VK table, not the B table.
