Thanks for this.
As I said in my description, some values will be NULL. I just thought that
these would not be included in the select. I did not think that it would stop
the subselect from working
users=# select count(u_id) from users where u_id not in (select distinct
emp_u_id from employees where emp_u_id is not null);
count
-------
393
(1 row)
users=#
