Flat ring homomorphism but not injective.

Let $Ato B$ be flat ring homomorphism(i.e. $B$ is flat $A$ module.)



If $B$ is faithfully flat, then $Ato B$ is injection.



$textbf{Q:}$ What is the example of flat but not injective ring homomorphism?(i.e. I want to fail faithfully flat but remain flat.) I think I need some ring $B$ as projective which realizes $B=F/N$ where $F$ is free $A-$module and this has to be compatible with ring structure as well. Clearly, I could not get this work over $A$ being a field.

    $A$ any ring, $B$ the zero ring?

    Take $A=Boplus B$ and $Ato B$ the projection onto the first factor.

Let $A$ be a nonzero and absolutely flat ring, let $mathfrak{m}subseteq A$ be a maximal ideal, and let $B=A/mathfrak{m}$. Then, the canonical morphism $Arightarrow B$ is flat but not injective.
