I'm sure English is not your native language, but it is the default language for this site.
In English, your question makes no sense at all.
Please, either try to find a better translation of your question to English, or find a site in your own native language, as they may be able to help you better than we can!

He/she probably wants to rewrite this query using the 'IN' clause instead of the 'NOT IN' clause.

What are you trying to achieve?

then your query is correct, go ahead and use it.

my boss says it is better to write it with in clause...

then ask your boss to rewrite this query using 'IN' clause without changing the logic. Your query is perfect and needs no enhancement. Just make sure that the Code column in both tables are indexed.

in one of them it is indexed...is it enough?

no, create indexes on both tables.

SQL

select *
from tblLocation_Temp
where tblLocation_Temp.Code
not in (
select tblLocation.Code
from tblLocation )

this query is perfact if " tblLocation.Code " and " tblLocation_Temp.Code " are same type column.

if tblLocation_Temp.Code is numaric or " tblLocation.Code " is varchar then your query have a casting problem . ' solve this by cast as varchar '

i hope this help
