Hi all,

What is wrong with this query:

select  *  from MYTABLE where MYTABLE.entry NOT IN (select ANOTHERTABLE.entry from 
ANOTHERTABLE)

mysql gives me a sintax error that looks like this:

ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'select ANOTHERTABLE.entry from 
ANOTHERTABLE)' at line 1

does mysql support complex queries?
is there any way to select something from one table that IS NOT in the other?
I tried stuff like joining two tables (MYTABLE and ANOTHERTABLE) and 
putting conditions :

MYTABLE.entry != ANOTHERTABLE.entry

but that does not work for some reason.

Also, keep in mind that MYTABLE.entry and ANOTHERTABLE.entry both of the type 
varchar(50) 

thanks in advance,

Andrey
