tSQL NOT IN Query

Question

I want to get the ID's of [interactions] table but these ID's must not equal to [EmailOUT] table. I couldn't write the query.

Select ID from EmailOut         
where ID NOT IN         
   (select ID from
    [172.28.101.120].[GenesysIS].dbo.interactions 
    where media_type = 'email'
    and type = 'Outbound')

something similar to this. I want Outbound Emails in Interactions table but these emails may exist in EmailOut table. I want to remove them. Outbound Email count about 300 but this query result should less than 300

Answer 1

It seems you should reverse your query, if you want to get the ID's of [interactions] table:

select ID from
[172.28.101.120].[GenesysIS].dbo.interactions 
where media_type = 'email'
and type = 'Outbound'
AND ID NOT IN (SELECT ID FROM EmailOut)

Answer 2

Try this one -

SELECT t2.*
FROM [172.28.101.120].[GenesysIS].dbo.interactions t2
WHERE t2.media_type = 'email'
    AND t2.[type] = 'Outbound'
    AND NOT EXISTS (
            SELECT 1 
            FROM dbo.EmailOut t 
            WHERE t.id = t2.id
        ) 

Answer 3

What about

select ID from [172.28.101.120].[GenesysIS].dbo.interactions 
where media_type = 'email'
and type = 'Outbound' 
minus
select ID from EmailOut
