Simulating MINUS Operator

Joe
Hello,

Hopefully you sql guru's can help me out a bit. :)

Here is the short example of what I want to accomplish. I wish to
have the difference between two different select queries.
So if one query pulls records 1,2,3 and 4 and the second pulls records
1 and 4 I wish to have only the records 2 and 3. How can I accomplish
this easily.

In case that doesn't make sense here is the long version.
I have two tables that are keyed together through an id field. However
this is not a one to one relationship, it is a one to many
relationship. The following is an example of the table

Table 1 Table 2
------------------ ----------------
ID relid rid vid

Table 1 and table two are linked through the columns id and rid. There
can be many links between id and rid so the link is further refined
through a vid field. What I need is all records in table 1 that will
not link to table 2 such that relid=rid and vid=46

I hope this is clear I know it's confusing.
