I have two tables posts and comments. Table comments have post_id attribute. I need to get all posts with type "open", for which there are no comments with type "good" and created date MAY 1.
Is it optimal to use such SQL-query:
SELECT posts.* FROM posts
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT comments.id FROM comments WHERE comments.post_id = posts.id
AND comments.comment_type = 'good' AND
comments.created_at BETWEEN '2010-05-01 00:00:00' AND '2010-05-01 23:59:59')
I'm not sure that NOT EXISTS is perfect construction in this situation.
