(Using MySQL and PHP) I need to only return a row from table1 if its id is not found in table2. The query below is how I think it should work. However (as I had imagined), this doesn't work. Syntax error (you can't put a select inside a select like that). SELECT table1.id FROM table1 WHERE table1.sold=1 AND table1.id NOT IN (SELECT table2.table1_id FROM table2) (and no, those aren't the real table or field names - just trying to be clear) I could do a SELECT first that gets all the values in the table2, then (in PHP) run through a result set of rows from table1, checking each time to see if its id is in table2, and if it isn't, display it...but this seems excessive. I went through all of the functions to use in a WHERE clause in my MySQL book...am I missing something?
