( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

You were using the wrong join.

Your snippet is moving computation from a database server to a client application, and it's doing that whitout any particular need.

The canonical way of transforming your query should go through a table JOIN. However, since you are subquerying the same table, your nested query is nothing more than this:

select object_id from mw_export_record where table_object != 'advertisers'; -- <-- operator change

The inner part of your query is selecting all the IDs containing 'advertisers', while the outer part is saying "don't take any record from this list."

Not only you are computing in the client what should be done in the server, but you are also telling the server to do something unnecessarily complex and heavy that it should not have been doing in the first place.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
