skina Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 Hi, im having a problem with some SQL code, it looks really simple and i really can\'t understand why it\'s not giving the desired output, any help would be greatly appreciated: This is the SQL statement i\'m trying to run: SELECT t2.* FROM t1, t2 WHERE t1.rid <> t2.rid; table1: ID rid 31 1 32 2 table2: ID rid 9 1 10 2 11 3 12 4 13 5 I was expecting the output to be: 11 3 12 4 13 5 But instead got: ID rid 10 2 10 2 11 3 11 3 11 3 12 4 12 4 12 4 9 1 9 1 13 5 13 5 13 5 This seemed pretty crazy to me, all i wanted was for the query to retrieve only the records which didnt have matching rid\'s. This was all done on phpmyadmin as after having problems with the code i thought it would be easier to debug it using phpmyadmin. If anyone can tell me why its showing all the results multiple times and also a way i can recieve the data i want it to will be greatly appreciated.
