RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: Help with SQL

Hi Vinay
I was going to answer the same way that Rob did
You would need to do the EXCEPTION join on the FIVE key
K1, K2, K3, K4 and STATUS = 'A'
You say
the sql would return only the records where the JOIN is not successful
Isnt that what you are looking for?
If its not, then I believe you need to rephrase your question

I don't think the Left Outer Join or Exception join would work, as the JOIN would be on 4 keys, and the sql would return only the records where the JOIN is not successful. So it would return only records where there is no match in child table. Maybe I am wrong, but that is what my test sql did.

boiled down to a few choices between NOT EXISTS NOT IN LEFT OUTER JOIN
EXCEPTION JOIN

Hi,

We have a Table with K1, K2, K3, K4 as Primary keys with about 800
million records. A child table, which is partitioned, has K1, K2, K3,
K4, K5 (Seq
Number) as Primary keys and a Status field (value of A or I) with
about 10 billion records. Child table having no record for the 4 keys
is possible, though highly unlikely.

I need to get a list of records (just the key fields) from the main
Table, which has no record in the child table with Status = 'A' (may
or may not have an 'I' Status record).

Can someone please help me with some efficient sql code to achieve this?
TIA.

Vinay
