584. Find Customer Referee
Description
Table: Customer
+-------------+---------+ | Column Name | Type | +-------------+---------+ | id | int | | name | varchar | | referee_id | int | +-------------+---------+ In SQL, id is the primary key column for this table. Each row of this table indicates the id of a customer, their name, and the id of the customer who referred them.
Find the names of the customer that are not referred by the customer with id = 2.
Return the result table in any order.
The result format is in the following example.
Example 1:
Input: Customer table: +----+------+------------+ | id | name | referee_id | +----+------+------------+ | 1 | Will | null | | 2 | Jane | null | | 3 | Alex | 2 | | 4 | Bill | null | | 5 | Zack | 1 | | 6 | Mark | 2 | +----+------+------------+ Output: +------+ | name | +------+ | Will | | Jane | | Bill | | Zack | +------+
Solutions
Solution 1: Conditional Filtering
We can directly filter out the customer names whose referee_id is not 2. Note that the customers whose referee_id is NULL should also be filtered out.

# Write your MySQL query statement below SELECT name FROM Customer WHERE IFNULL(referee_id, 0) != 2;
