由于我们无法在MySQL中使用MINUS查询，因此我们将使用JOIN来模拟MINUS查询。可以通过以下示例来理解 -

示例

在此示例中，我们有两个表，即 Student_detail 和 Student_info，具有以下数据 -

mysql> Select * from Student_detail;
+-----------+---------+------------+------------+
| studentid | Name    | Address    | Subject    |
+-----------+---------+------------+------------+
|       101 | YashPal | Amritsar   | History    |
|       105 | Gaurav  | Chandigarh | Literature |
|       130 | Ram     | Jhansi     | Computers  |
|       132 | Shyam   | Chandigarh | Economics  |
|       133 | Mohan   | Delhi      | Computers  |
|       150 | Rajesh  | Jaipur     | Yoga       |
|       160 | Pradeep | Kochi      | Hindi      |
+-----------+---------+------------+------------+
7 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> Select * from Student_info;
+-----------+-----------+------------+-------------+
| studentid | Name      | Address    | Subject     |
+-----------+-----------+------------+-------------+
|       101 | YashPal   | Amritsar   | History     |
|       105 | Gaurav    | Chandigarh | Literature  |
|       130 | Ram       | Jhansi     | Computers   |
|       132 | Shyam     | Chandigarh | Economics   |
|       133 | Mohan     | Delhi      | Computers   |
|       165 | Abhimanyu | Calcutta   | Electronics |
+-----------+-----------+------------+-------------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

现在，以下使用 JOINS 的查询将模拟 MINUS 以返回 Student_info 中的“studentid”值，但不返回 Student_detail 表中的值。

mysql> SELECT studentid from student_info LEFT JOIN Student_detail USING(studentid) WHERE student_detail.studentid IS NULL;
+-----------+
| studentid |
+-----------+
|       165 |
+-----------+
1 row in set (0.07 sec)

现在，以下查询将为我们提供与上述查询相反的结果，即它将返回 Student_detail 中的“studentid”值，但不会返回 Student_info 表中的值。

mysql> SELECT studentid from student_detail LEFT JOIN Student_info USING(studentid) WHERE student_info.studentid IS NULL;
+-----------+
| studentid |
+-----------+
|       150 |
|       160 |
+-----------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
