Try this on for size: SELECT DISTINCT id FROM tbl WHERE id NOT IN (SELECT id FROM tbl WHERE action = 1)
The subselect will only work in 4.1 and later I think. Dan On 12/8/06, bruce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
hi... i'm looking at what is probably a basic question. i have a tbl with -id -action -status -date ie: id action status date 1 0 1 1 1 2 1 2 3 --------------------------------- 2 0 4 2 2 5 i need a query to somehow get all id's that don't have an 'action=1', in this case, id '2' would be the id that should be returned from the query... however, i can't quite figure out how to create a query to select the items that are the ones i'm looking for. any help/thoughts would be appreciated! thanks -bruce -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
