Hi, I need to pull all records from the table Registrants they are NOT in the table ToBeRecleared Registrants.Reg_ID is PK ToBeRecleared.tbrc_Reg_ID is PK Which query is more correct? SELECT r.* FROM registrants r where r.reg_status=1 AND r.reg_id NOT IN (SELECT tbrc_reg_id FROM toberecleared) SELECT r.* FROM registrants r where r.reg_status=1 AND (SELECT count(*) FROM toberecleared where tbrc_reg_id=r.reg_id) = 0 I checked explain of bot queries - but can't "read" them. :-) Thanks, L
