The product_table has all the products, but the sale table is a subset of the product_table. I tried: SELECT item_name FROM product_table, sale_table WHERE product_table.prod_id != sale_table.prod_id but I'm not getting any results from that. Sorry this code isn't exact, I'm not att my development PC at the moment.
