[GENERAL] Set operator.

Dear all,

What set operators other then UNION do PG have?

In particular, I am interested in the MINUS or equivalent operator. e.g

table1:

value1
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

table2:

value2
1
3
5
7
9

SELECT table1.value1 FROM table1 MINUS table2.value2 FROM table2;

result:
2
4
6
8

I have PG 6.4.0 so please specify what version of PG might have this
functionality... also, can anybody offer hints as to how to implement such
functionality if necessary?

Regards,

Stuart.

Try EXCEPT (only in v6.5).
