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

Hi Bruce,

Does this do it for you?

SELECT t1.id
FROM tbl t1
WHERE  t1.id NOT IN (SELECT t2.id
                                          FROM tbl t2
                                         WHERE t2.id = 1)


Peter
