Thanks to all you responded, The NOT IN Clause works great! -----Original Message----- From: Fast, Tim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 12:13 PM To: 'Morrier, Steve'; MapInfo-L (E-mail) Subject: RE: MI-L SQL Help Steve, Not to worry, you won't get fired. Remember we are the ones who actually do the work! Here is a method for selecting records in one table that do not match records in another table. Consider a situation where we must find all the records in TableA whose values in FieldA do not match the values of FieldB of records in TableB. Fill out the first 3 fields in the SQL Select Dialog box: Select Columns: * from Tables: TableA where Condition: NOT FieldA IN(SELECT FieldB FROM TableB) Hope this helps Tim Fast Pioneer Hi-Bred International -----Original Message----- From: Morrier, Steve [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 10:13 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: MI-L SQL Help This message is in MIME format.

I have 2 street files, one new and one old. They have roughly the same structure with the old table having a few extra columns of data at the end. I would simply like to run a query to determine what Street Names exists in the new file that are not in the old file, or visa versa. I thought I could run a Where: New.Street_name <> Old.Street_name but this isn't working, I get an INVALID JOIN Clause error. If I swap the <> with = in hopes to invert the selection I get a table with 10 times the amount of records of the originals but no JOIN error. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for all your help, if it wasn't for this list I think I would have been fired years ago!! ;-) Steve _______________________________________________________________________ List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MapInfo-L" in the message body. _______________________________________________________________________ List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MapInfo-L" in the message body.
