Zend Select NOT IN

Question

I have two tables with related data, and I want to select all the records from one table which do not exist in the other table, plus some other criteria on the related table

Answer 1

You can run direct sql, using $db->query(); yours would simply be:

$results = $db->query("SELECT A.SOMETHING 
FROM A 
WHERE A.ID NOT IN (
    SELECT 
        B.TABLE_A_ID AS ID 
        FROM B 
        WHERE TABLE_C_ID = ?
)", $id);

EDIT: To answer whether this can be done with the object notation, yes:

$sub_select = $zdb->select()
                  ->from("b", array("table_a_id AS id"))
                  ->where("table_c_id = ?", 'a');
$select = $zdb->select()
              ->from("a", array("something"))
              ->where("id NOT IN ?", $sub_select);
print $select->__toString();

gives

SELECT `a`.`something` FROM `a`
WHERE (id NOT IN
    (SELECT `b`.`table_a_id` AS `id` FROM `b` WHERE (table_c_id = 'a')))
