How to find non-linked assets

Question

Hi,
Is there any possibility to find assets that aren't used in any Final Cut Pro project or Final Cut Server production. I want purge my assets and I want be sure I won't delete any media/assets used by project/production.
I found theese metadata groups: "This asset is linked to" & "Instances of this asset are used by". I'm sure they are responsible for displaying information about references in Resources tab in Asset info window. I have no idea how to construct search query to freeze out assets with references.
Could anybody help me?
Thanks.

Try this sql query:
DROP TABLE store.pxref;
CREATE TABLE store.pxref( "entityid" int8 not null , "fieldid" int4 not null , "value" text not null , "datatypeid" int4 not null );
INSERT INTO store.pxref
SELECT store.pxentitylink.parententityid AS entityid, '1808' , count (store.pxentity.address) AS value, '9'
FROM store.pxentitylink, store.pxentity
WHERE pxentitylink.parententityid = store.pxentity.entityid AND ( pxentitylink.linktypeid =12 AND pxentitylink.childentityid IN
(SELECT entityid FROM store.pxentity WHERE address LIKE '/element/%'))
GROUP BY pxentitylink.parententityid, pxentity.address
ORDER BY entityid ASC;
INSERT INTO store.pxref
SELECT store.pxentitylink.childentityid AS entityid, '1809' , count (pxentity.address) AS value, '9'
FROM store.pxentitylink, store.pxentity
WHERE pxentitylink.childentityid = pxentity.entityid AND ( pxentitylink.linktypeid =1 AND pxentitylink.parententityid IN
(SELECT entityid FROM store.pxentity WHERE address LIKE '/project/%'))
GROUP BY pxentitylink.childentityid, pxentity.address
ORDER BY entityid ASC
I use pgadmin to run query:
-database: px
-login: postgres
-pass blank
-port: 5433
First I created in FCServ two new fields for filtering via client, values 1809 and 1808 are fieldid of this fields from pxmdfield. Probably you will have to change this values.
