Maybe something like one of these:
select cola, colb, case when not exists(select 1 from table_b where
table_b.colc=table_a.colb) then 'NG' else 'OK' end
from table_a;
select cola, colb, case when colc is null then 'NG' else 'OK' end
from table_a left outer join table_b on (table_a.colb=table_b.colc);
select cola, colb, case when (select count(*) from table_b where
table_b.colc=table_a.colb)=0 then 'NG' else 'OK' end
from table_a;
