NOT IN and NOT EXISTS
NOT IN and NOT EXISTS do the opposite of IN and EXISTS respectively. They are used to check if the data present in one table is absent in another.
You are interested to know if there are some countries in the Nations table that do not appear in the Cities table. There may be many reasons for this. For example, all the city populations from a country may be too small to be listed, or there may be no city data for a particular country at the time the data was compiled.
