I think there are a number of approaches...many already mentioned. I saw the EXISTS...the Not In...the 3rd query to join Query A and Query B and look for nulls... Just thought of a different view...did you need to know who was only in 1...A or B but not both....you could use a UNION ALL for A and B...then query the union to count Less than 2. SELECT zz1.test,"A" as Q_Name,count(zz1.test) as tt FROM zz1 group by test union all SELECT zz2.test,"b" as Q_Name,count(zz2.test) as tt FROM zz2 group by test; Just a thought... Mark A.
