Hi there!

I'm new to SQL and I can't figure out a query which would give me the result
I need. What I want to do is this:

I have table that stores names of players and number of the game they play
(one player can play more games concurrently). Other users can join the
game. For given user I want to display the games which he can join. The only
condition is that the user can't join any game which he already plays.

If I have this

+-----+---------+
| gid | user    |
+-----+---------+
|   1 | jack    |
|   1 | john    |
|   1 | peter   |
|   1 | richard |
|   2 | john    |
|   2 | richard |
|   3 | peter   |
|   4 | jack    |
|   4 | peter   |
|   5 | peter   |
|   5 | john    |
+-----+---------+

then for jack I want numbers 2, 3, 5 but not 4; for peter it should be 2 and
no other.

I'll appreciate your advice!
