Please help, I am stuck and my mind is frozen.
I want to subtrack one query from the other. I have one query that brings all the records. The second gets another set of records.
I want to subtract the second query from the first one . How do i do this?
First query produces like 1000 records. Second has like 800 records i want to display the other 200 that dont exist in the first query.
Please help.
I have this but it is too slow and doesnt work in php but does in mssql.
select distinct a.playlist,
a.material_id,
a.destination_locator,
a.destination,
a.air_time,
a.traffic_duration,
a.comment,
a.title,
a.device_name,
m.media_locator as source_locator,
m.medium_name as source
from cch_dubber_dublist_view11 a left outer join lib_copy_view m
on a.material_id=m.material_id where (A.material_id is not null) and (A.material_id <>'')
and
NOT EXISTS (
select null
from
dev_device_view d
inner join
lib_copy_view c
on
d.device_name= c.medium_name
where
c.material_id = a.material_id
AND c.media_locator = a.destination_locator
AND d.device_name = a.device_name
)
