If you use a lower version, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mysqltutorial.org\/mysql-basics\/mysql-minus\/\">emulate the EXCEPT (or MINUS) operator<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Introduction to the MySQL EXCEPT operator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The MySQL <code>EXCEPT<\/code> operator allows you to retrieve rows from one query that do not appear in another query.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the basic syntax of the MySQL <code>EXCEPT<\/code> operator:<\/p>\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\" aria-describedby=\"shcb-language-1\" data-shcb-language-name=\"SQL (Structured Query Language)\" data-shcb-language-slug=\"sql\"><span><code class=\"hljs language-sql\">query1\nEXCEPT &#91;ALL | DISTINCT]\nquery2;<\/code><\/span><small class=\"shcb-language\" id=\"shcb-language-1\"><span class=\"shcb-language__label\">Code language:<\/span> <span class=\"shcb-language__name\">SQL (Structured Query Language)<\/span> <span class=\"shcb-language__paren\">(<\/span><span class=\"shcb-language__slug\">sql<\/span><span class=\"shcb-language__paren\">)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n<p>In this syntax, the <code>EXCEPT<\/code> will compare the result of <code>query1<\/code> with the result set of <code>query2<\/code> and return the rows of the result set of <code>query1<\/code> that do not appear in the result set of <code>query2<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, the <code>EXCEPT<\/code> operator uses the <code>DISTINCT<\/code> option if you omit it. The <code>EXCEPT DISTINCT<\/code> removes duplicate rows in the result set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to retain the duplicate rows, you need to specify the <code>ALL<\/code> option explicitly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To use the <code>EXCEPT<\/code> operator, the <code>query1<\/code> and <code>query2<\/code> need to follow these rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The order and the number of columns in the select list of the queries must be the same.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The data types of the corresponding columns must be compatible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The <code>EXCEPT<\/code> operator returns a query set with column names derived from the column names of the first query (<code>query1<\/code>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MySQL EXCEPT operator examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s take some examples of using the MySQL <code>EXCEPT<\/code> operator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1) Simple MySQL EXCEPT operator example<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, create two tables <code>t1<\/code> and <code>t2<\/code>:<\/p>\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\" aria-describedby=\"shcb-language-2\" data-shcb-language-name=\"SQL

operator to find rows that appear in the table <code>t1<\/code> but do not appear in the table <code>t2<\/code>:<\/p>\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\" aria-describedby=\"shcb-language-4\"

class=\"shcb-language__slug\">plaintext<\/span><span class=\"shcb-language__paren\">)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n<p>In this example, the first query returns a result set (1,2,3) and the second query produces a result set (2,3,4). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <code>EXCEPT<\/code> operator returns the row 1 that appears in the first result set but does not appear in the second result set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following Venn diagram illustrates the <code>EXCEPT<\/code> operation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"449\" height=\"261\"
