Question joining two results

I have two sets of results built up. Each set has a state value. Although one set has 38 states in the results while the other has 23. Is it possible to join these sets and show a result for each of the 38 states even if there is not a corresponding value in the other set. All attempts I've made lose the 15 states that do not appear in the other set. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance

If your database engine supports LEFT JOIN, or better yet FULL JOIN, then you are in business. If not, you can kind of "fake it" using a sub-select, but it is hokey.
