As I understand it, you can only list distinct values in an IN clause -
MySQL doesn't yet support subqueries here - according to the manual. See
page 139 of the pdf manual.

Subject: Using the IN function
Probably a simple question:
I am returning back to SQL after a break, and I was sure that I could do the
following when using the IN function:
SELECT field1 FROM table1 where field1 NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT field2 FROM
table2);
but clearly not.
Could anyone suggest what I am doing wrong, or is this type of statement not
valid syntax.
Cheers
