For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Subtraction one set from anothe set in MySQL

Posted by roger3333 (roger3333), 6 December 2002
Hi,

Does anyone know in MySQL, how to exclude one set of record from another set, which is similar to 'NOT IN' in some SQL language.
e.g: select * from A where A.ID NOT IN ( select ID from Table B )

Thanks a lot.

Roger

Join and look for NULL should do it ...

select * from A left join B on A.id = B.id where B.id is NULL;

(See "Checking for values not present in a table" in MySQL by Paul DuBois, http://www.wellho.net/book/0-7357-0921-1.html
