I am a rookie as well so this may not work but I think it should. Could you
not just copy all of one into the other and then select all out of it using
DISTINCT so you get no duplicates out of it?

Subject: Syntax question for a beginner..
Alright, I am about to pull my hair out.
I have 2 tables. Each have a column 'email' that are unique. Some of the
records in both tables are duplicates and I want to combine the two tables
into one with out bringing in the duplicates. So...
I have this statement:
Mysql> SELECT email FROM tableA WHERE NOT (email IN(SELECT email FROM
tableB));
Now, this gives me an error at the second SELECT. I have been trying
different ways, but no go. I got the general syntax from a friend, but I
could not get it to work. Is my syntax just wrong?
mysql Ver 11.13 Distrib 3.23.36, for -freebsd4.3 (i386)
Any help would be appreciated,
- randy
