php - How to select rows where the ID exists in one table, but not another? -
i have 2 tables:
1) order table (which has ordernumber id)
2) items table can have multiple rows , has ordernumber column tying each row ord er row above.
most orders have multiple rows in items table - not , need pull report of orders no associated items rows.
i on 2 queries in php there smarter way in mysql. understand joins that's when there data in both tables. how tackle if there isn't tie in both?
i use left outer join or full outer join, depending on need.. if post 2 queries, or sample data...
outer handles data isn't there
