I'm trying write a query to find records which don't have a matching record in another table.
For example, I have a two tables whose structures looks something like this:
Table1 State | Product | Distributor | other fields CA | P1 | A | xxxx OR | P1 | A | xxxx OR | P1 | B | xxxx OR | P1 | X | xxxx WA | P1 | X | xxxx VA | P2 | A | xxxx Table2 State | Product | Version | other fields CA | P1 | 1.0 | xxxx OR | P1 | 1.5 | xxxx WA | P1 | 1.0 | xxxx VA | P2 | 1.2 | xxxx
(State/Product/Distributor together form the key for Table1. State/Product is the key for Table2)
I want to find all the State/Product/Version combinations which are Not using distributor X. (So the result in this example is CA-P1-1.0, and VA-P2-1.2.)
Any suggestions on a query to do this?
SELECT
*
FROM
Table2 T2
WHERE
NOT EXISTS (SELECT *
FROM
Table1 T1
WHERE
T1.State = T2.State AND
T1.Product = T2.Product AND
T1.Distributor = 'X')
This should be ANSI compliant.
In T-SQL:
SELECT DISTINCT Table2.State, Table2.Product, Table2.Version
FROM Table2
LEFT JOIN Table1 ON Table1.State = Table2.State AND Table1.Product = Table2.Product AND Table1.Distributor = 'X'
WHERE Table1.Distributor IS NULL
No subqueries required.
Edit: As the comments indicate, the DISTINCT is not necessary. Thanks!
select * from table1 where state not in (select state from table1 where distributor = 'X')
Probably not the most clever but that should work.
SELECT DISTINCT t2.State, t2.Product, t2.Version
FROM table2 t2
JOIN table1 t1 ON t1.State = t2.State AND t1.Product = t2.Product
AND t1.Distributor <> 'X'
In Oracle:
SELECT t2.State, t2.Product, t2.Version
FROM Table2 t2, Table t1
WHERE t1.State(+) = t2.State
AND t1.Product(+) = t2.Product
AND t1.Distributor(+) = :distributor
AND t1.State IS NULL
