You can use a left join checking for Null

select a.*

from TableA a left join TableB b

on a.id = b.id

where b.id is null

Select A.* from A where A.id not in(Select B.id from B)

If you mean 'not exists', it can pay to use NOT EXISTS 😉

The LEFT JOIN version is not quite the same.

NOT IN displays some decidedly counter-intuitive behaviour if the sub-query returns a NULL.

select a.* from A

where not exists (select 1 from B where A.ID=B.ID)

Thanks 2 all

I could not understand this query because of less knowledge of relational algebra.

I got the ans after run below query

select A.*,B.* from TestTAble A right join TestTAble3 B on A.Line_No=B.Line_No

Then i eleminate all null value with below query

select A.*,B.* from TestTAble A right join TestTAble3 B on A.Line_No=B.Line_No

where A.Line_No is null

[font="Courier New"]You can do it by two ways ..[/font]

[font="Courier New"]1. using "LEFT JOIN"[/font]

[font="Courier New"]SELECTT1.*, T2.*

FROMT1

LEFTJOIN T2 ON T1.keycol = T2.keycol

WHERET2.keycol IS NULL[/font]

[font="Courier New"]2. using "EXCEPT"[/font]

[font="Courier New"]SELECT keycol, col1, col2, col3, col4 FROM T1

EXCEPT

SELECT keycol, col1, col2, col3, col4 FROM T2[/font]

select a.* from A
where not exists (select * from B where A.ID=B.ID)

This method could be the highest performing of those submitted so far.

EXCEPT is close, but contains an implicit DISTINCT.

The LEFT and RIGHT JOINs are exactly equivalent of course.
