Using SQL Server 2000

Table1

Date        Holiday

23-02-2009    0 
24-02-2009    1
25-02-2009    0 

Table2

ID Date

01 23-02-2009     
01 24-02-2009    
02 25-02-2009     
…,

Here I want to skip the date where Holiday =1

Expected Output

01 23-02-2009
02 25-02-2009

How to make a query for this condition?

Answer 1

Try this

SELECT  *
FROM    TABLE2 t2 
WHERE   t2.Date NOT IN (SELECT  Date FROM TABLE1 WHERE Holiday = 1)

If table has no other value than marking holidays, why have the holiday column, and why have dates that are not holidays?

we have an holiday table as

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[METADATA_CALENDAR](
    [CalendarDate] [datetime] NOT NULL,
    [Description] [nvarchar](500) NULL,
    [CalendarType] [nvarchar](100) NOT NULL,
    [CalendarLocal] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,
)

which can allow you various calendar types, and for various countries.
