For example, I pick lenderID "1". I would like the SQL that would give me the cities NOT posted into the LenderInCities Table. MySQL (ver 3) does not support sub selects. This is what I have, but it flakes out for some reason? select cities.CityName, cities.state, lendersincities.* from cities, lendersincities where (lendersincities.lenderid = :lenderID) and (lendersincities.cityid <> cities.id) Any help would be appreciated... I'm thinking I can't see the forest through the trees! It's been a long day, any help would be appreciated!

George Christoforakis. Hi George, It does not give me an error, it gives me erroneous results. When I had just a few (2 lenders) "lenders" in the lendersinCities table, all was well, now it produces double (two city names) cities for cities that should be removed (if the logic in the query was correct). Distinct won't do it because the cities that should not be in there are. Here's the SQL again: select cities.cityName, cities.state, lendersincities.* from cities, lendersincities where (lendersincities.lenderid = :lenderID) and (lendersincities.cityid <> cities.id) thanks, Curt Back to top George Christoforakis Guest Posted: Wed Dec 03, 2003 8:28 am    Post subject: Re: MySQL 3.X SQL question try the group by clause.

I had something like that you want to do and I changed to 4.1 alpha. George Christoforakis. "Curt Krueger" Quote: "George Christoforakis" What's the error message? George Christoforakis.
