HI Everyone

select * from country where country = 'india' (they bith are same table)
and not exists
select * from country were country='Nepal'

Please can some one help me to get the distinct records(which are not there in 2nd query but exists in 1st query) .

When I am executing this its returning me no values.
Actually I should return the values which are not in the second query.

Thanks

why can't you simply use this:

SQL

select * from country where country = 'india' AND country <> 'Nepal'

OR

SQL

select * from country where country = 'india' AND country !='Nepal'
