MySQL - MINUS Operator

To perform the Minus Operator in MySQL through a JavaScript program, we need to execute an SQL statement with JOIN clause using the query() function provided by mysql2 connector.

sql = "SELECT column_list FROM table_name1 
LEFT JOIN table_name2 ON join_predecate 
WHERE table_name2.column_name IS NULL";
con.query(sql);

To perform the Minus Operator in MySQL through a Java program, we need to execute an SQL statement with JOIN clause using the executeQuery() function provided by JDBC type 4 driver.

String sql = "SELECT column_list FROM table_name1 
LEFT JOIN table_name2 ON join_predecate 
WHERE table_name2.column_name IS NULL";
statement.executeQuery(sql);

To perform the Minus Operator in MySQL through a Python program, we need to execute an SQL statement with JOIN clause using the execute() function provided by MySQL Connector/Python.

query = "SELECT column_list FROM table_name1 
LEFT JOIN table_name2 ON join_predecate 
WHERE table_name2.column_name IS NULL"
cursorObj.execute(query);

var mysql = require('mysql2');
var con = mysql.createConnection({
    host: "localhost",
    user: "root",
    password: "Nr5a0204@123"
});

  //Connecting to MySQL
  con.connect(function (err) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log("Connected!");
  console.log("--------------------------");

  //Creating a Database
  sql = "create database TUTORIALS"
  con.query(sql);

  //Select database
  sql = "USE TUTORIALS"
  con.query(sql);

  //Creating CUSTOMERS table
  sql = "CREATE TABLE CUSTOMERS (CUST_ID INT NOT NULL,NAME VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,AGE INT NOT NULL,ADDRESS CHAR(25) NOT NULL,SALARY DECIMAL(18, 2),PRIMARY KEY(CUST_ID));"
  con.query(sql);

  //Inserting Records
  sql = "INSERT INTO CUSTOMERS (CUST_ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY) VALUES (1,'Ramesh', 32, 'Ahmedabad', 2000.00 ),(2,'Khilan', 25, 'Delhi', 1500.00 ),(3,'kaushik', 23, 'Kota', 2000.00 ),(4,'Chaitali', 25, 'Mumbai', 6500.00 ),(5,'Hardik', 27, 'Bhopal', 8500.00 ),(6,'Komal', 22, 'MP', 4500.00 ),(7,'Muffy', 24, 'Indore', 10000.00 );"
  con.query(sql);

  //Creating ORDERS table
  sql = "CREATE TABLE ORDERS (OID INT NOT NULL,DATE VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,CUST_ID INT NOT NULL,ADDRESS CHAR(25),AMOUNT INT NOT NULL);"
  con.query(sql);
  
  //Inserting Records
  sql = "INSERT INTO ORDERS(OID, DATE, CUST_ID, AMOUNT) VALUES(102, '2009-10-08 00:00:00', 3, 3000),(100, '2009-10-08 00:00:00', 3, 1500),(101, '2009-11-20 00:00:00' , 2, 1560),(103, '2008-05-20 00:00:00', 4, 2060);"
  con.query(sql);

  //Using MINUS Operator
  sql = "SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS LEFT JOIN ORDERS USING (CUST_ID) WHERE ORDERS.CUST_ID IS NULL;"
  con.query(sql, function(err, result){
    if (err) throw err
    console.log(result)
  });
});
