SELECT company.code, company.name, company.type,
contacts.fullname
FROM company Left JOIN
contacts ON company.code = contacts.code
AND (company.type in ('C', 'R')) and (contacts.fullname =
'Accounting')
WHERE contacts.code IS NULL
order by company.code

I think this would work (except in the unlikely case that
contacts.code is nullable, in which case it might return
some data that it shouldn't). But NOT EXISTS has the strong
advantage of letting you say what you mean.
