Pls help me in creating a view

Question

Hi All,
We have few tables in Oracle HRMS, per_jobs table gives the details of the all jobs defined,
PAY_JOB_WC_CODE_USAGES table contains the all the compensation codes defined and PAY_STATE_RULES
table contains the all the state codes.
Now, SELECT WC.STATE_CODE,
PJ.JOB_ID,
PSR.NAME STATE_NAME,
PJ.NAME JOB_NAME
FROM per_jobs pj,
PAY_JOB_WC_CODE_USAGES WC,
PAY_STATE_RULES PSR
WHERE PJ.JOB_ID(+) = WC.JOB_ID
AND WC.STATE_CODE(+) = PSR.STATE_CODE
This Query gives the job_names which are defined in a state..
But, Now what I want is
I want to get the Job Names which are not defined in each state for that I want to create a view
So, Could u pls help me in writing this Query.
Example,
SELECT * FROM PER_JOBS
where job_id not in (select job_id from PAY_JOB_WC_CODE_USAGES where STATE_CODE = 'VA')
This will give the job details which are not defined in the State called "VA"..
But, I want all the Jobs which are not defined in all the states..
Thanks

Hi,
I think you want something like this:
SELECT  pj.*
,     psr.state_code
FROM     per_jobs     pj
JOIN     pay_state_rules     psr  ON  NOT EXISTS (
                                           SELECT  0
                              FROM     pay_job_wbc_code_usages
                              WHERE     job_id         = pj.job_id
                              AND     state_code  = psr.state_code
;Say there are 50 states, and a given job occurs in 48 of them, this query will show that job 2 times, paired once with each of the 2 states where it does not occur.
Instead of an EXISTS sub-query, you could use an IN sub-query.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables, and also post the results you want from that data. Simplify the data. For example, pretend (for posting only) that you only have 3 or 4 states.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using.
