I'm interested in finding the minimim A.id such that the following holds: select A.charge , B.user_id , C.employee_id from A inner join B using (user_id) inner join C using (employee_id)
except select X.charge , Y.user_id , Z.employee_id from X inner join Y using (user_id) inner join Z using (employee_id) -- I can't do the following, since the number of selected columns have to match: select A.id , A.charge , B.user_id , C.employee_id from A inner join B using (user_id) inner join C using (employee_id) except select X.charge , Y.user_id , Z.employee_id from X inner join Y using (user_id) inner join Z using (employee_id) Can someone help me with the query?
