Use LEFT JOIN
SELECT t1.*, t2.id FROM table1 as t1 LEFT JOIN table2 as t2 ON
t1.id=t2.id WHERE t2 IS NULL;

Sorry I missed out the difficult bit,
query sould read:-
SELECT table1.*,table2.id from Table1 AS table1,Table2 AS table2
WHERE table1.otherkeyid = '7236523' AND table2.otherkeyid = '7236523' AND
table1.id DOESN'T EXIST IN table2.id;
If there are NO entries in table2 for otherkeyid I still want

select t1.* from table1 t1 LEFT JOIN table2 t2 on t1.id=t2.id WHERE t2.id IS

you can print out table2 values if you want, but they will all be NULL..
provided that table2.id and table1.id are the matches you are trying to find.

Hi Marty,
Yes, a query like this:
SELECT t1.* FROM table1 t1
LEFT JOIN table2 t2 ON (t2.id=t1.id)
WHERE t2.id IS NULL
This assumes that table2.id is defined as NOT NULL.

Hope that helps.

Well, in order for that to work, you will need to do an explicit JOIN
somewhere or else the IS NULL or NOT NULL won't work. You might
try...
SELECT table1.*, table2.id
