Paul, Based on your original post, I'd have to agree with Brian. That query should work. In fact, something as simple as this should work too:
select order.order_id from order ,transaction_log where order.order_id = transaction_log.order_id and transaction_log.event_log_id <> 3 group by order.order_id Perhaps you could share your table designs and some sample records? Shashank Sql, query < ORIGINAL REQUEST > | | I have an order table and a transaction log table. The | order table has | | an order_id and a number of other columns that are not | germain to my | question. | | The transaction log has an order_ID and an event_log_id | column.
