I'm having trouble puting up a query in Mysql because of his lack of SQL 
syntax.

I have a table A and a table B... I want all occurences from A there are 
not in B...

in ANSI SQL... it's nothing more than:

select a.id, a.name from table_a a, table_b b where a.id NOT IN (select id 
from table_b)

and that's it... but in Mysql, since there are no sub-selects, I'm burning 
my brains out and not getting it... I don't wanna create a temp table like 
the manual suggests... this is way NOT efficient... I'd rather do it in PHP 
code than having a query that creates a temporary table, then drop it...
