I tried my best to figure and google this out, but couldn't really find a solid answer to it.
The problem I'm facing is that
Table 1:
ID Value 1
1 a
2 b
3 c
Table 2:
ID Value 2
1 4a
3 5b
4 6c
and I'd basically have to select the value from Table 1 that doesn't exist on Table 2 (Thus, 'b')
I can select and identify the ID that I want by using minus function between the tables, but can't seem to figure out a way to call a query to instead call the data.
Use the MINUS as a subquery (i.e. an inline view) (lines #14 - 16):
Sample data:
SQL> with
2 table1(id, value1) as
3 (select 1, 'a' from dual union all
4 select 2, 'b' from dual union all
5 select 3, 'c' from dual
6 ),
7 table2 (id, value2) as
8 (select 1, '4a' from dual union all
9 select 3, '5b' from dual union all
10 select 4, '6c' from dual
11 )
Query begins here:
12 select a.*
13 from table1 a
14 where a.id in (select t1.id from table1 t1
15 minus
16 select t2.id from table2 t2
17 );
ID VALUE1
---------- ----------
2 b
SQL>
Alternatively, use not exists:
<snip>
12 select a.*
13 from table1 a
14 where not exists (select null
15 from table2 b
16 where b.id = a.id
17 );
ID VALUE1
---------- ----------
2 b
SQL>
