Determining if a Primary Key in Table 1 Does Not Exist in Table 2 Using NOT EXISTS Clause
Determining if a Primary Key in Table 1 Does Not Appear in Table 2 In the context of relational databases, primary keys are unique identifiers that uniquely identify each record in a table. Foreign keys, on the other hand, are columns in one or more tables that refer to the primary key of another table. In this blog post, we will explore how to determine if a primary key in Table 1 does not appear in Table 2.
