Hello ,
I have a sql problem which seems to be simple, but I am kind of stuck,
There are 2 tables with IDs. I would like to find out which ID from table one is not in table 2.
My statement: SELECT ap. * FROM pictures p , album_pictures ap WHERE ap.pic_id != p.pic_id
returns of course all the ids from table pictures which are not in table album_pictures, but I would like to have it the other way arround.
So you want all IDs in album_pictures that are not in pictures?
SELECT ap.id FROM album_pictures ap LEFT JOIN pictures p ON ap.id = p.id WHERE p.id IS NULL
The people that "need" sub-selects for things like this need to learn some more SQL... but we're getting off topic. :)
