Compare tables, how to join?

[#1]

Hello,

I have two tables with following fields:

Table1: URL, bandwidth_up, bandwidth_down

Table2: URL

The URL's in Table2 can all be found in Table1. Moreover, Table1 got several URL's that are not in the point of interest.

The information I need is: How much bandwith_up and *_down is used by the URL's that can be found in Table2

Or if I ask in another way: How can I get rid of the URL's in Table1, that can not be found in Table2.

I do not know which way is more "elegant" and easier to implement.

hello,

You can use JOIN or Exists checking:

1) JOIN approach:

LOAD URL FROM Table2;

LEFT JOIN

LOAD * FROM Table1;

2) Exists approach:

tmpTable:

LOAD URL as URLForCheck FROM Table2;

LOAD * FROM Table1

WHERE Exists( URLForCheck, URL);

DROP TABLE tmpTable;

the exist solution works fine for me.

Tank you!
