Question

Im stumped by this simple query because its one I have not tried before.

Ive got a User table, User_Widget table and a Widget table.

A simple inner join shows me what widgets they have by joining user_widget.user_id = user.user_id.

How would I show the widgets in the Widget table that they dont have?

Answer 1

Thanks to Bart Janson I got the query down to:

SELECT * FROM widgets
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT * FROM widget_user
WHERE widgets.widget_id = widget_user.widget_id
AND user_id = "ID NUMBER OF PERSON YOU WANT"
)
ORDER BY RAND()
LIMIT 10

Cheers guys
