Darrell,
Can you provide a little more information and background on your problem.
please?
What values can the "tag" column assume? Just "a" and "b" ?
Both?
Please give examples of table contents and desired output, your mail doesn't
contain enough info to give you more advises
Thank you
Best,
Oliveiros

Subject: [SQL] selecting rows tagged with "a" but not "b"
Hi,
I have a two tables:
article
articleID, name, content
tags
articleID, tag
I want to find all articles that are tagged with "a" but not "b"
how do I do this?
what I'd like to do is:
<wishful thinking>
select articleID from tags where tag="a"
SUBTRACT
select articleID from tags where tab="b"
</wishful thinking>
how do I do this in real SQL?
thanks
Darrell
