Building a "select from where not in" query (1 Viewer)

[rmarquez5]

Greetings all.

I am trying to write a query much like this:

select [title] from [want list]
where [title] not in
(select [title] from [available movies]);

When I run it, I find it runs SO slow. Is there a better way to find the same results?

Any input would be much appreciated. Hope to hear from you.

Something like this (may have got the joins the wrong way around i.e. LEFT)

SELECT [Want List].Title
FROM [Want List] RIGHT JOIN [Available Movies] ON [Want List].Title = [Available Movies].Film;

1) Yes the is Left

2) you will want to add: Where [Available Movies].Film is null
