    i have just create 4 tables like below :

    CREATE TABLE customer(
    customerID INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
    name VARCHAR( 30 ) ,
    address VARCHAR( 30 ) ,
    tel_no INT( 15 ) ,
    email VARCHAR( 30 ) ,
    PRIMARY KEY (customerID)
    ) ENGINE=INNODB;


    CREATE TABLE roomtype(
    roomtypeID INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
    roomtype VARCHAR( 30 ) ,
    roomprice INT( 30 ) ,
    roombed INT( 15 ) ,
    PRIMARY KEY ( roomtypeID )
    ) ENGINE=INNODB;

    CREATE TABLE rooms(
    roomID INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
    roomtypeID varchar( 30 ) ,
    room_no INT( 15 ) ,
    PRIMARY KEY ( roomID ) ,
    FOREIGN KEY ( roomtypeID ) REFERENCES roomtype( roomtypeID ) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE
    ) ENGINE = INNODB


    CREATE TABLE booking(
    bookingID INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
    checkin DATETIME,
    checkout DATETIME,
    nights INT( 10 ) ,
    totalprice INT( 100 ) ,
    customerID INT,
    roomID INT,
    PRIMARY KEY ( bookingID ) ,
    FOREIGN KEY ( customerID ) REFERENCES customer( customerID ) ,
    FOREIGN KEY ( roomID ) REFERENCES rooms( roomID ) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE
    ) ENGINE = INNODB

    i really got no idea how to only display the roomtype and roomprice from the table roomtype. I do really hope someone can help me as i have spent 5 hours only for this one query (yes..i admit i'm not talented in this stuff..), so please,if there's anyone can give any ideas for me to solve this...
    i do appreciate it so much...

    below is the query that i'm working on that never success :

    select distinct roomtype, roomprice from roomtype where romtypeID IN (
    select roomtypeID, roomID from rooms where roomID NOT IN (
    select roomID froom booking where checkin>="2010-04-01" AND checkout<="2010-04-06"))

    when i test it at phpmyadmin, the problem comes from the outter select which is the part "select distinct...".
    when i tested it, the subselect works fine..the problems comes from the select distinct part
