ID DEPTID
123 765
234 987
123 986

Now, I am trying to find all details of table STUDENT which are not present table MAPPING .

Example

NAME ID DEPTID YEAR BATCH MISSING
abc 123 987 2020 2 YES
zyz 124 765 2021 1 YES

I tried using Minus but it works if columns are same .

Any help will be great .

>Solution :

Looks like an ordinary NOT EXISTS. Sample data till line #13; query begins at line #14.
