I have to filter out rows from a table say A (contains only 1 column ) that are not present in table B (contains many columns).

Apart from the only column in table A there is no other column that I can use.

So I am currently using the NOT IN clause but it is taking too much time to execute.

No room for Joins due to single common column

    NOT IN (as well as <> for example) cannot be optimized with B-Tree organized indexes. So unfortunately you cannot do anything with this issue.
