    <p>When I do this: </p> <pre><code>select * from vw_active_employees where division IS NULL; --319 results </code></pre> <p>Makes sense. And, then I do this...</p> <pre><code>select * from vw_active_employees where division IS NULL AND udds IS NULL; -- over 1000 results </code></pre> <p>Whaaaaat?? MORE results??</p> <p>So, I had to wrap the view as a subselect for it to return what I was expecting. Like this:</p> <pre><code>select vw_active_employees.* from (select * from vw_active_employees) tmp where division IS NULL AND udds IS NULL; --317 results </code></pre> <p>Can someone explain this? I've never had to do this in MS SQLSERVER - so this is foreign to me.</p> <hr> <hr> <p>The SQL used to create this view actually joins a number of other views together. I'm not entirely sure it's helpful to see, but you asked for it :) It's basically </p> <pre><code>CREATE VIEW `vw_active_employees` AS select e.*, `vw_employee_attributes_map`.`med_school_faculty`,

    2. COAdded the view create statements above for the pertinent views. It seems like the 'udds is null' somehow trickles down and effects the underlying view sql, which seems wrong to me. From my understanding of views, they should be a black box with set results - and the criteria you apply shouldn't affect the underlying queries that create the view's dataset.

    3. COManual says "IS" has higher precedence than "AND" but have you tried: `where (division IS NULL) AND (udds IS NULL);`

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
