I have three tables, people, events and epeople. epeople includes a person id and an event id and works as a list of people attending events in the database.
The following query returns a list of all the people participating in a particular event given an event id. select people.id as pid, concat(lastname, ", ", firstname) as name from events left join epeople on events.id=epeople.eid left join people on epeople.pid=people.id where events.id=2; How could I get a list of all the people not participating? thought I would add to the where clause with: and people.id is null; but that returns an empty set. tia, jb --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
