Hello List, I'm having kind of trouble to get done this: Select data from a table, except those data already in a second table. Actually, if there is a rowid in table2, I wont get it from table1, rowid is the key that relates both tables. I just can't express this with a SQL statement!! idequipomed is the key that relates both tables!! So, if idequipomed is already in Table2, I shouldn't get it from Table1. Any suggestions? Many ways to do this. Choose the solution that gives you the best performance.
Solution 1: SELECT t2.idequipomed FROM table2 t2 WHERE NOT EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM table1 WHERE table1.idequipomed = t2.idequipomed ) Solution 2: SELECT idequipomed FROM table2 WHERE idequipomed NOT IN (SELECT idequipomed FROM table1) Solution 3: SELECT table2.idequipomed FROM table2 LEFT JOIN table1 ON table1.idequipomed = table2.idequipomed WHERE table1.idequipomed IS NULL
