How to compare condition multile table in mysql query?

Question

how can i compare multiple table while checking condition in MySQL?

Cheque Table1

--------------------------
date       |  Cheque_no
--------------------------
10/10/2015 | 09876543
--------------------------
17/10/2015 | 45678990
--------------------------

Payment Table2

----------------------------------------
date       |  Cheque_no  | Amount_Paid
----------------------------------------
10/10/2015 | 09876543    |   1000
----------------------------------------

And I am using the following query:

select * from Cheque,Payment where Cheque.Cheque_no != Payment .Cheque_no 

I am Expecting the output is

17/10/2015 | 45678990

Answer 1

Seems like a simple not in condition would do the trick:

SELECT *
FROM   cheque
WHERE  cheque_no NOT IN (SELECT cheque_no FROM payment)
