Hi, Thomas.
I believe it is because of your WHERE clause, which is filtering out the nulls from hp table.
According to
WHERE
hp.poste_idposte = 275
You only want registers that have hp.poste_idposte = 275, not the null ones.

Yes, the WHERE effectively turns the outer into an inner join, thus removing rows from the right table. By moving the WHERE to the JOIN condition, you get the result you expected.

Objet : Re: [SQL] LEFT OUTER JOIN issue
Try moving the hp.poste_idposte=275 inside the LEFT JOIN condition, somethin like :
SELECT ct.dat,ct.heur,hp.datmesure,hp.heuremesure,hp.t FROM calendar_temp as ct
LEFT OUTER JOIN h_part as hp
ON (ct.dat = hp.datmesure
AND ct.heur = hp.heuremesure
AND hp.poste_idposte = 275)
ORDER BY ct.dat, ct.heur
And drop the WHERE clause.
See if it gives the results you intended.
