I tried your suggestion, Alexandre, and the records I am looking for are
returned, although the EXISTS script(like the IN) also returns an empty
result set.



Thanks.

Hi Dion,

The above query lookslike ok !

try this one to check

select
A.forkliftcell
from
fetchedhrs A left join
forklift B on (B.forkliftcell = A.forkliftcell)
where
B.forkliftcell is null

if it returns an empty result set you have a full relation of the too tables
(i.e. no
fetchedhrs without forklift)


see you !
