I have the following situation Three tables
1) players 2) teams 3) team_player 'players' holds player records and player_id is auto_increment primary key 'teams' holds team records and team_id is auto_increment primary key 'team_player' is a table which holds records for "which player belongs to which team" That is team_player has 3 columns 1) id (auto_increment primary key) 2) team_id 3) player_id My problem is that I want to extract the record set from 'players' table for those players which do not belong to any team ie they will not have player_id in 'team_player' table. I don't know how to write the join in the query .. if it is possible. Any help is greatly appreciated. I am not subscribed to the list so please cc any replies.
