Outer Join qry help!

The first query returns 46 rows (correct result set) while the second one
returns all of the records from app_type table. The second query is similar
(atleast thats what I'm trying to accomplish) to the first one, difference
being non-ansii statement.
Can someone help me figure out whats wrong with the second query?
Thanks.
qry1
select distinct ap.type,ap.subsystem
from app_type ap left outer join app_code ac on ap.type=ac.type
where ac.type is null
qry2
select distinct ap.type, ap.subsystem
from app_type ap , app_code ac
where ap.type*=ac.type
and ac.type is nullArul,
you just found out why you should not use the depricated outer join
syntax.
Check out this posting, and see if that helps:
