2002-06-18 Thread Brian McCane
I usually use an SELECT with an OUTER JOIN that uses the foreign key with a USING or ON clause. Then in the where clause I look for any records where some field from the primary key table that is NOT NULL is null. Something like: SELECT oid FROM fktbl LEFT OUTER JOIN pktbl USING(keyname) WHERE
