First at all, i`m spanish so please, apologize for my english Hello to everybody, i`m a newby with mysql and i have a problem with a select I`m making a database for a hostel I have 2 tables for reservations, one is called rooms and have 2 fields (id_room, tipo)and the other one is ocupation with 3 colums(id_reservation, date and id_room) I`m using innodb database I insert a register on the ocupation table for each day of the reservations, with the id_room and the id_reservation I wanna mean, if u make a reservation for the 22-3-2007 to 24-3-2007 i will do that
rooms table id_reservation date id_room 0001 2007-03-22 101 0001 2007-03-23 101 0001 2007-03-24 101 I know must there are a lot of better ways to do it, but i think is the simplest one Now, my problem with the query is when i need to know for a especific date, witch rooms are avaliable I wanna mean, if i try to check for the 22-03-2007 the query must return me all the rooms except the 101 Using SQL i can do it with a minus sentence, but the mysql version i`m using(5.0.24a) cant support it Have anyone any idea? Thanks, and please, forgive my english ;)
