I have two tables- table1 & table2

I want to join them with 127.0.0.3 SHOWN in NEW TABLE even it have no
hits (in table2)
mysql> select a.ip,name,time,sum(hits) from table1 a left join table2 b
on a.ip=
b.ip group by a.ip,a.name;

But if I specify the time ( > 2000 ) using where time>'2001' , I can't
get what my want (Also show 127.0.0.3)
What can the SQL do to do what I want? Many thanks!!
mysql> select a.ip,name,time,sum(hits) from table1 a left join table2 b
on a.ip=

At least in Oracle you would say:

I am not sure about mysql
Please let us/me know.

Please send the table descirptions i.e., using desc table1 and desc table2. And can we also know the mysql version you are using?

I made this one, seem to be work, need to test:
SELECT a.ip, name, SUM(hits)
FROM table1 a LEFT JOIN
table2 b ON a.ip = b.ip
WHERE time > '2001' OR
time = NULL
GROUP BY a.ip, a.name
UNION
SELECT c.ip, c.name, 0
FROM table1 c
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT 'X'
FROM table2 d
WHERE d .ip = c.ip)
