如何用等效的LEFT OUTER JOIN替换复杂的SQL MINUS查询

Question

试图弄清楚如何用等效的左外部联接替换以下内容：

select distinct(a.some_value)
from table_a a, table_b b
where a.id = b.a_id 
and b.some_id = 123
and b.create_date < '2014-01-01' 
and b.create_date >= '2013-12-01'  
MINUS
select distinct(a.some_value)
from table_a a, table_b b
where a.id = b.a_id 
and b.some_id = 123 
and b.create_date < '2013-12-01' 

无法执行“ NOT IN”，因为第二个查询的数据太多。

Answer 1

SELECT * FROM
(
  select distinct(a.some_value)
  from table_a a, table_b b
  where a.id = b.a_id 
  and b.some_id = 123
  and b.create_date < '2014-01-01' 
  and b.create_date >= '2013-12-01'  
) x
LEFT JOIN 
(
  select distinct(a.some_value)
  from table_a a, table_b b
  where a.id = b.a_id 
  and b.some_id = 123 
  and b.create_date < '2013-12-01'
) y
ON 
  x.some_value = y.some_value
WHERE 
  y.some_value IS NULL

Answer 2

这是我的大脑在喝完啤酒后扑灭的东西：

select distinct
    a.some_value
from
    table_a a
    join table_b b on a.id = b.a_id
where
    b.some_id = 123
    and b.create_date < '2014-01-01' 
    and b.create_date >= '2013-12-01'  
    and not exists (
        select
            a2.some_value
        from
            table_a a2
            join table_b b2 on a2.id = b2.a_id
        where
            b2.some_id = 123
            and b2.create_date < '2013-12-01'
    )

我现在想不起来这是否会比左联接​​更快进行优化...

我不认为左联接是要走的路，但我相信它看起来像这样：

select *
from
     (
      select *
      from a
      where a.CreateDate >= '12/1/2013'
        and a.CreateDate < '1/1/2014')December
     left join(
               select *
               from b
               where b.CreateDate < '12/1/2013')PriorMonths on December.Value = PriorMonths.Value
where PriorMonths.Value is null

“不存在”子句怎么样？
