Subject Problem with LEFT OUTER JOIN and COUNT()
Author Fabio Gomes
Hi guys,

I have a pagination function in php that uses a counter to generate the page
links and stuff, it always worked fine, but i m having a problem with this
query:

I m using this to count the results:

SELECT DISTINCT COUNT(*)
FROM SIAD_VND N
LEFT OUTER JOIN SIAD_VED V ON (V.CODIGO = N.VEDEXT)
WHERE TIPO='V' AND N.OBS3 LIKE '%SUS%'

And this to show them:

SELECT DISTINCT N.EMISSAO, N.CUPOM, N.OBS1, N.OBS3, V.DESCRICAO
FROM SIAD_VND N
LEFT OUTER JOIN SIAD_VED V ON (V.CODIGO = N.VEDEXT)
WHERE TIPO='V' AND N.OBS3 LIKE '%SUS%'


But the problem is that the COUNT() returns me 2000+ rows, and the query
return just 1000, i tried to change the query and stuff. but it isnt
working, i think that it have something to do with the LEFT OUTER JOIN.

Am i doing something wrong?

Anyway, any help is welcome.

Thanx,

-Fábio.
