Hi I need the students that didn't take an exam. The tables:

exams(id_test, title, desciption, ....)

results(id_student, id_test, date, qualification...)

I'm using a version of MySQL that doesn't support NOT IN, then I tried in this way:

SELECT * FROM exams LEFT JOIN results ON exams.id_test=results.id_test WHERE results.id_test IS NULL AND id_student=".$user

The query doesn't return anything... What Can I do???

Ahead of time, thank you very much,

Tom.
Sorry last mail got lost lol.

SELECT * FROM results LEFT JOIN exams USING (id_test)
WHERE id_student =".$user;

So you get when the user has a result and applied to it.
If you dont get a result, he wouldn't have done it yet.
