Without subqueries, I think it is easiest just to use CF's Query of Queries. This is close to what you need:
The trick is the last query.... It uses both queries to filter the results. <cfquery name="excludeStaffEmail" datasource="myDataSource"> SELECT S.EmailAddress FROM staff S </cfquery> <cfquery name="allEmail" datasource="myDataSource"> SELECT CAL.EmailAddress FROM classroom_access_list CAL </cfquery> <cfquery dbtype="query"> SELECT * FROM allEmail OUTER JOIN excludeStaffEmail WHERE allEmail.EmailAddress != excludeStaffEmail.EmailAddress </cfquery> Ryan Duckworth Macromedia ColdFusion Certified Professional Uhlig Communications 10983 Granada Lane Overland Park, KS 66211 (913) 754-4272 -----Original Message----- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2004 8:25 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: How do I rewrite this as a join query? Good morning, all... I'm using MySQL (4.0) version, which doesn't support subqueries, so I need to rewrite this as a join query...how would I do that? Select CAL.EmailAddress from classroom_access_list CAL where CAL.EmailAddress not in (Select S.EmailAddress from staff S) What I'm after is a query that gives me all the email addresses in the classroom_access_list table and the staff table without duplicates... I've been working on the join approach, but those things just elude my logic for some reason...can't wait until I'm ready to move to MySQL 4.1, which supports subqueries...
