I have two tables
ITEMS : id, name
CATEGORIES: items_id, category
I need to select all the items whose IDs are NOT in the CATEGORIES table.
I suspect it’s really simple, but can’t figure out the syntax.

NOT IN (select CATEGORIES.item_id)
not sure if that’s faster than the join above… but it works.
