Do an exception join on the detail file
This will list all the detail records that do NOT have an order number in the header file

Select a.* from ORDDETAIL a exception join ORDHEADER b on
a. ODOHNO = b. OHOHNO





This is the OPPOSITE of a join which will give you all the detail records that have an order number in the header
Select a.* from ORDDETAIL a join ORDHEADER b on
a. ODOHNO = b. OHOHNO

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Quick SQL question

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Given a header table H, and a detail table D, tied together with an "order number" field that is OHOHNO in H, and ODOHNO in D, is there an SQL syntax that would produce a list of "orphaned" details that have no header?
