mysql minus替代方法_MySQL不支持INTERSECT和MINUS，及其替代方法

Doing an INTERSECT

An INTERSECT is simply an inner join where we compare the tuples

of one table with those of the other, and select those that appear

in both while weeding out duplicates. So

SELECT

member_id, name FROM a

INTERSECT

SELECT member_id, name FROM b

can simply be rewritten to

SELECT a.member_id,

a.name

FROM a INNER JOIN b

USING (member_id, name)

Performing a MINUS

To transform the statement

SELECT

member_id, name FROM a

MINUS

SELECT member_id, name FROM b

into something that MySQL can process, we can utilize subqueries

(available from MySQL 4.1 onward). The easy-to-understand

transformation is:

SELECT DISTINCT

member_id, name

FROM a

WHERE (member_id, name) NOT IN

(SELECT member_id, name FROM

table2);

Of course, to any long-time MySQL user, this is immediately

obvious as the classical

use-left-join-to-find-what-isn’t-in-the-other-table:

SELECT DISTINCT a.member_id, a.name

FROM a LEFT JOIN b USING (member_id, name)

WHERE b.member_id IS NULL
