| Trending Tech Books | Practice using EXCEPT to identify potential technical book opportunities | 200 | challenge | ```sql CREATE TABLE trending_book ( title VARCHAR(255), author VARCHAR(255), rating DECIMAL(3,2), votes INT ); CREATE TABLE tech_book ( id INT PRIMARY KEY, title VARCHAR(255), category VARCHAR(100), price DECIMAL(10,2) ); INSERT INTO trending_book (title, author, rating, votes) VALUES ('Clean Code', 'Robert C.

You have access to two tables: trending_book which tracks currently popular books across all genres, and tech_book which lists programming and technology books.
trending_booktable shows currently trending books:
| title | author | rating | votes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clean Code | Robert C. Martin | 4.8 | 1205 |
| The Pragmatic Programmer | Andy Hunt | 4.9 | 890 |
| Dune | Frank Herbert | 4.7 | 2500 |
| Project Hail Mary | Andy Weir | 4.8 | 1800 |
| Neuromancer | William Gibson | 4.5 | 1600 |
tech_booktable contains the technology book catalog:
| id | title | category | price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Clean Code | Software Engineering | 44.99 |
| 2 | The Pragmatic Programmer | Software Engineering | 39.99 |
| 3 | JavaScript: The Good Parts | JavaScript | 29.99 |
| 4 | Python Crash Course | Python | 34.99 |
| 5 | Head First Java | Java | 44.99 |
Write a query to find the technical books that are not currently trending. Hint: you can use one of the set operations.
