SELECT state FROM table2 ; WHERE State NOT IN (SELECT state FROM table1) * or using correlated query SELECT state FROM table2 ; WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT state FROM table1 WHERE state = table2.state )>All I want to do is select records from two tables by looking at one field in each table. I want to find what states in table 2 are not in table 1. What would the SELECT- SQL command look like to do this? THANKS!
