SELECT SKU
FROM PartProductSupplemental
EXCEPT
SELECT SKU
FROM Inventory
Why do I get this error:
Incorrect Syntax near the Word Except
I check on line and syntax is syntactically correct:
SELECT ProductID
FROM Production.WorkOrder
EXCEPT
SELECT ProductID
FROM Production.Product

When executing a query in SQL and the editor throws back this error: Incorrect syntax near …'' That typically means you have used the wrong syntax for the query. This happens mostly when someone switched from one relational database to another relational database, from MySQL to MS SQL Server for example.
The SQL EXCEPT statement is used to filter records based on the intersection of records returned via two SELECT statements. The records that are common between the two tables are filtered from the table on the left side of the SQL EXCEPT statement and the remaining records are returned.
The SQL EXCEPT clause/operator is used to combine two SELECT statements and returns rows from the first SELECT statement that are not returned by the second SELECT statement. This means EXCEPT returns only rows, which are not available in the second SELECT statement.
EXCEPT compares all (paired)columns of two full-selects. NOT EXISTS compares two or more tables accoding to the conditions specified in WHERE clause in the sub-query following NOT EXISTS keyword.
Your database compatibility mode is probably set to 2000 (80) or earlier.
