Question

I have three tables called SData, Schdata and Fordata and the data looks like:

SData:                    Schdata                     Fordata           

Name      Pro_ID          Pro_ID    Sch_ID         Str_ID    Sch_ID
ACase     258             258       438            6         654
Boece     369             125       125            7         438
Dremd     781             369       985            12        548
Wep       469             469       754            8         284


PQData

Pro_ID   Sch_ID   Type
258      438      rep
358      678      pro

Now I am trying to get the Names from SData where the Pro_ID exists in Schdata and I don’t want the Pro_ID from Schdata which has the Shc_ID from Fordata so My output should be:

Name    Sch_ID
Boece   985 
Wep     754

So I wrote a query something like this:

Select a.Name,s.Sch_ID 
From SData a
Inner Join Schdata s
on a.Pro_ID = s.Pro_ID
Inner Join Fordata f 
on f.Sch_ID <> s.Sch_ID

But I don’t know whether I am doing it right. can anyone help me?

One solution using OUTER/INNER JOINs:

DECLARE @SData TABLE
(
    Name VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL
    ,Pro_ID INT NOT NULL
);
INSERT  @SData 
VALUES  ('ACase',258),('Boece',369),('Dremd',781),('Wep',469);

DECLARE @Schdata TABLE
(
    Pro_ID INT NOT NULL
    ,Sch_ID INT NOT NULL
);
INSERT  @Schdata 
VALUES  (258,438), (125,125), (369,985), (469,754);

DECLARE @Fordata TABLE
(
    Str_ID INT NOT NULL
    ,Sch_ID INT NOT NULL
);
INSERT  @Fordata
VALUES  (6,654), (7,438), (12,548), (8,284);

SELECT  a.Name, b.Sch_ID
FROM    @Schdata b
LEFT OUTER JOIN @Fordata c ON b.Sch_ID = c.Sch_ID 
INNER JOIN @SData a ON a.Pro_ID = b.Pro_ID 
WHERE   c.Sch_ID IS NULL
