Dear Friends, I am using mysql 3.23.42. I want to execute one query to get specific result but not getting the correct result. I have 2 tables named: ContactList and GroupList. Their structure is as below: +-------------------------------+ ContactList +-------------------------------+ username varchar(15) nickname varchar(15) primary key(username, nickname) +-----------------------------------------+ GroupList +-----------------------------------------+ username varchar(15) nickname varchar(15) groupname varchar(15) primary key(username, groupname, nickname) - Table CotactList has following values: +------------------------+ username nickname +------------------------+ gaurang malay gaurang viral gaurang nilay gaurang ajay gaurang amit gaurang raja - Table GroupList has following values: +----------------------------------------+ username groupname nickname +----------------------------------------+ gaurang friend malay gaurang friend viral - Now I want to get those 'nickname' from ContactList which do not appear in GroupList with following condition: ContactList.username = 'gaurang' ContactList.username = GroupList.username groupname = 'friend' - So as result of the query I should get following values: nilay ajay amit raja - I executed following query, it gives result with MS-Access but as it uses inner query and mysql does not support it, it did not work with mysql: select nickname from ContactList where username='gaurang' and nickname not in (select nickname from GroupList where username='gaurang' and groupname='friend') - I also tried with following query but did not get the desired result: select cl.nickname from ContactList cl, GroupList gl where cl.username='gaurang' and cl.username=gl.username and gl.groupname='friend' and cl.nickname!=gl.nickname If anybody can help me in this problem I would be thankful to him. Thanks gaurang.
