Hi,

I have a table B which is connected to table A through a integer foreign
key. This is a 1:1 relation so for every item in table B there is exactly
one item in table A.

But not every item in A must have a connection to B. I stored the foreign
key in table B and using it as a primary key (that was the easiest way to
ensure that there is only one item in B for every item in A).

No I want to get all items from table A where no matching item in table B
exists. I'm aware that this would be very easy if table A stores the
foreign key.

I think there is no direct sql query which can do that for me, right? So
I have to query for every item in table A that there is no matching item
in B? (I just want to make sure that I'm not missing a really obvious
optimization.)

Thanks so far,
fs
