Hi, You can use generate_series.
select generate_series(1,select max(id) from theserecords) EXCEPT select id from theserecords; KR ________________________________ Från: Durumdara [durumd...@gmail.com] Skickat: den 22 maj 2019 15:43 Till: Postgres General Ämne: Which records aren't in list? Use static list as table or records Hi! A very silly question. I have a limited list of identifiers. I want to know which one IS NOT in a table. The select * from theserecords where id not in (1, 5, 12, 33, 55) isn't listing missing records... because they are missing... :-) For example, a pseudo: idlist = (1, 5, 12, 33, 55) select id from idlist where id not in (select id from theserecords) The id list is a static string. Now I can do this with temporary table - I create one, insert the ID-s and run the select: select id from temptable where id not in (select id from theserecords) It would be nice if I can get the missing ID-s. F.e: select id from ( select 1 as id, select 5 as id, ... ) where id not in (select id from theserecords) or select id from ( select split_string_to_records('1,2,3,4,5', ',') as id ) ... Do you know any simple way to do this without stored proc or temp table? Thank you! B.W: dd
