Hey all, I have 2 tables: Profiles(id). Relationships(id,friend_id,befriender_id).
friend_id and befriender_id represent profiles ids. I want to find all the profiles that are neither friends neither befrienders with a given profile. this is the query I use with profile id=1: select * from profiles where profiles.id not in (SELECT profiles.id FROM profiles INNER JOIN relationships ON profiles.id = relationships.befriender_id WHERE (relationships.friend_id = 1 )) and profiles.id not in (SELECT profiles.id FROM profiles INNER JOIN relationships ON profiles.id = relationships.friend_id WHERE (relationships.befriender_id = 1 )); is there a better, faster way to do so? thanx in advance Pat -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
