Oops correction.

If i create tbl1 & tbl2, and then load it with the data.
The result is CORRECT. Like yours.

But, if the data loaded from another table, the result become WRONG/ null record. 

Here is my detail step. Please Help.

myhost=# \d outages                    Table "outages"    Attribute      |           Type           | Modifier
--------------------+--------------------------+----------outageid           | integer                  | not
nulllosteventid       | integer                  |regainedeventid    | integer                  |
 

myhost=# --create new temp tbl1
myhost=# SELECT losteventid AS eventid INTO tbl1 FROM outages;
myhost=# --create new temp tbl2
myhost=# SELECT regainedeventid AS eventid INTO tbl2 FROM outages;


myhost=# --check the new tbl
myhost=#  \d tbl1         Table "tbl1"Attribute |  Type   | Modifier

myhost=# SELECT eventid FROM tbl1;eventid

(10 rows)

myhost=# \d tbl2         Table "tbl2"Attribute |  Type   | Modifier
-----------+---------+----------eventid   | integer |
myhost=# SELECT eventid FROM tbl2;eventid

(10 rows)


myhost=# SELECT eventid FROM tbl1 WHERE eventid NOT IN (SELECT eventid FROM tbl2);eventid
---------
(0 rows)
