Thread: Problem with the postgresql operator.
Dear All,
What is the correct operator for not equal to in select statement? I'm a bit confuse.
Situation
Let say I want to select stock_key from stock_lot with the condition stock_lot's lot_no is not equal to stocks' lot_no. What select statement should I use?
Thank you in advance

KH Lim, In the future, this sort of question is more appropriate for the PGSQL-NOVICElist. > What is the correct operator for not equal to in select statement?

SQL92 Standard Syntax (works on PostgreSQL): WHERE stock_lot.lot_no <> stocks.lot_no Not SQL92 Standard, but also works on PostgreSQL: WHERE stock_lot.lot_no != stocks.lot_no You should also pick up an introduction to PostgreSQL and to SQL in general. See http://techdocs.postgresql.org/bookreviews.phpfor several booksuggestions. In English, "Database Queries for Mere Mortals"is a good onefor novices. If you need a book in another language, e-mail me back and I'll try to locate abook that has been translated into your preferredtongue. -Josh Berkus ______AGLIO DATABASE SOLUTIONS___________________________ Josh Berkus Complete informationtechnology josh@agliodbs.com and data management solutions (415) 565-7293 for law firms, small businesses fax 621-2533 and non-profit organizations.
