Hey Pro's
Got a problem.
I'm trying to slelect a column which has numbers in it lets say 1
through 5, and compare it to a list of known values.
Lets say 1 through10.
I would like it to come back with all the matching numbers that are
not in the column such as 6,7,8,9,10.
I was trying somthing like this:
select column
from table
where column is not in
(select column from
table
where column is in ('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9',10')
then it returns 1,2,3,4,5
what I need it to return is 6.7,8,9,10
(the exact opposite)
It seems so simple, what am I doing wrong ?? Thanks for reading it !
