Hello all,
I need to run query like (in mysql < ver.4): select * from table1 as t1 where not exists (select NULL from table2 as t2 where t1.field1 = t2.field1) I know you can emulate an 'exists' subquery with a join. but I just can't think of a way to emulate a 'not exists' without a subquery. probably due to my limited sql experience. any hints? thanks a lot Murad BTW: when do you think mysql 4.1 would be stable enough for robust use (not necessarily mission critical). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
