ok... authorizations and charges... two tables.. Card Number 1 gets authorized 20 times for use (20 rows in the authorizations table) and when the transaction is completed they get charged 20 times (20 rows in the charges table) .. however we've been finding that authorizations are not always ending in charges. (Essentially people are cheating the system) and I need to find out who. Card numbers are the same... I ran this without the num1=num2 and it gave me very bad results.. I think my counts are off base. num1 and num2 were the same for all of them. I know this isn't the case.
so... SELECT authtable.cardnumber, count(authtable.cardnumber) as num1, count(chargetable.cardnumber) as num2 FROM authtable, chargetable WHERE authtable.cardnumber = chargetable.cardnumber AND num1 != num2 is what I'm shooting for logically.. once again.. I think the counts are messed up... (I might be completely off base here..)
