Hello list,

I have two tables:

Table A
a_id name
1    a
2    b
3    c

Table B
b_id a_id flag name
1    2    y    x
2    2    n    y
3    3    n    z

How can I find the rows from table A where there is no matching row (joined
using a_id as key) in table B where flag is "y"?

So in this example I want the entries 1/a and 3/c from table A. 2/b should
not be selected because there is a row in table B with a_id = 2 and
flag="y".

Understandable?

It seems quite impossible to me, but I cannot figure out a reason why it is
impossible, either.

Regards,
André
