hello,

i m using mysql 4.0.18-standard version

it is not accepting subqurries.

problem is:

i have 2 tables:  First(id,Flower,Color); => color is char(2);
                Second(Shop,Date,Flower,Color);

first table will contain only unique flowers , and colors, id is
autoincrement.

second table may contain duplicate entries.


i want to select from Second table only those Flowers and Colors which are not there in First table.

i tried with : select distinct(First.Flower),First.color from First,Second
where First.color!=Second.color;

but it will select all fileds in first.


As this version of mysql will not support for subqurries...problem.

can anybody reply with answer?
