Subject: Query Help using Except

Message-ID: <1288A498.21F60EA2.037EC703@netscape.net> (raw)
I'm interested in finding the minimim A.id such that the following holds:
select A.charge
, B.user_id
, C.employee_id
from A
inner join B using (user_id)
inner join C using (employee_id)
except
select X.charge
, Y.user_id
, Z.employee_id
from X
inner join Y using (user_id)
inner join Z using (employee_id)
--
I can't do the following, since the number of selected columns have to match:
select A.id
, A.charge
, B.user_id
, C.employee_id
from A
inner join B using (user_id)
inner join C using (employee_id)
except
select X.charge
, Y.user_id
, Z.employee_id
from X
inner join Y using (user_id)
inner join Z using (employee_id)
Can someone help me with the query?
Thanks in advance.
