MINUS clause in Oracle, SQL Server and MySQL

Minus clause in oracle used to query the records which are exists in table1 but not in table2.

select * from table1
minus
select * from table 2

or

select column1, column2... from table1
minus
select column1, column2... from table2

Make sure the data types for the columns should be compatible.

For example  Table1 and table2 as below

Table 1 and Table 2

select name, loc from table1
minus
select name, loca from table2

will result as below

Same MINUS clause in SQL Server corresponds to EXCEPT command

Here the syntax is

select * from table1
except
select * from table 2

or

select column1, column2... from table1
except
select column1, column2... from table2

However in MySQL we are not having any direct minus or except clause.

select * from table1 where (column1, column2) not in ( select * from table2);

or

select * from table1 where not exists ( select * from table2 where table2.x=table1.x and table2.y=table1.y)

                                               or

SELECT t1.col1, t1.col2

FROM table1 t1 LEFT JOIN table2 t2

ON t.col1 = t2.col1 AND t1.col2 = t2.col2

WHERE t2.col1 IS NULL;
