I am executing a SQL query, via Toad, that is searching a table based on accounts that are part an 'IN" list within the WHERE statement.
Can I flag accounts that are not found in the DB based on the WHERE 'IN' list accounts?
SELECT account_no
FROM master_table
WHERE (account_no IN ( 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06)); |

sounds like this:-
SELECT t.account_no
FROM (SELECT '01' AS account_no
UNION ALL
SELECT '02'
UNION ALL
SELECT '03'
UNION ALL
SELECT '04'
UNION ALL
SELECT '05'
UNION ALL
SELECT '06'
)t
LEFT JOIN master_table m
ON m.account_no = t.account_no
WHERE m.ccount_no IS NULL

Firstly, Thank you for the reply and time. What I am really looking for is when using the 'WHERE IN' list if an account is not found in the query based on the list can that account, not found, somehow be flag and reported on the output? example "WHERE (account_no IN ( 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06));". If during the query excution account 01, 02, 03, 05 and 06 are found in the table however 04 is not, can I somehow still report that the account was not found in the table on the output? (without doing some manual compares of the accounts included in the "WHERE IN " statement to those not reported(not found)?quote:
