SQL query to extract data from three tables based on multiple conditions

Question

Imagine three data tables A, B and C. A and B share a common variable ID1. B and C share a common variable ID2. Write a pseudo query to get this result: select everything from Table B, with matching records in both Table A and B, but not in Table C.

My version of the answer is below (but I am not sure if it's correct):

Select *
From table_b
Left Join table_a
On table_b.ID1 = table_a.ID1
Where table_b.ID2 NOT IN table_c.ID2

I am very skeptical about if the Where condition would work for the given condition? Please give your opinion on my answer. Thanks!

Answer 1

Select *
From table_b
Left Join table_a On table_b.ID1 = table_a.ID1
Where not exists (select * from table_c where table_c.ID2 = table_b.ID2)

Answer 2

Similar to IngoB's solution but slightly more readable (IMHO)

SELECT *
FROM table_b 
LEFT OUTER JOIN table_a USING (id1)
WHERE id2 NOT IN (SELECT id2 FROM table_c)
