Alright, I have never asked a question here before, but here goes.
In my PHP script I currently have a query that retrieves all threads matching user ID in the threads_read
table (records all read thread ids, Unix timestamp, and user ID). Then, I use another query to retrieve all the matching rows in an important_threads
table that contains thread id.
This may be a very simple question to answer but I'm not too familiar with MySQL(i), but how would I make a query that retrieves all NON matching rows in an important_threads
table?
You could do something like:
SELECT * FROM threads_read WHERE id NOT IN (SELECT id FROM important_threads)
That is a little resource heavy, but it does the job.
I would really recommend against that type of a database structure, though. Simply marking a table called 'threads' that would have a column to see if it was read or important would be a much more fluent design.
Best of luck!
You could do a LEFT JOIN on the important_threads table and only get the rows where there are no matches in the table:
SELECT
a.*
FROM
threads_read a
LEFT JOIN
important_threads b ON a.id = b.id
WHERE
a.user_id = 14
AND
b.id IS NULL
