It was not query... Just sentence where some index values in one table not exist in another... So query could be with: • WHERE (col1,col2,col2) NOT IN • WHERE NOT EXISTS • LEFT JOIN live USING (col1,col2,col2) WHERE live.id IS NULL what ever whoever prefer more or what gives better results... But I think it is more personal feelings which is better then real...
