Okay, y'all have been very helpful so far so here's another difficult
query.
This is the same database I've asked about before:
papers: information about newspapers, including a unique paperid
letters: information and text of letters to the editor, including the
paperid
There are, as you might expect, numerous letters on a given date in a
given paper. What I need to know, though, is for what paper/date pairs in
my sample I do NOT have any letters (since this probably represents a
data-collection glitch). I know I can do:
SELECT paper, date, count(date) FROM papers, letters WHERE
papers.papercode = letters.papercode GROUP BY paper, date;
but adding a HAVING count(date) < 1 seems to return 0 rows.
Thanks-
ap
