So i have the following query which i'm using in various ways to find records in one table that are not in another:


SELECT offenseno FROM offense.dbo.off_per t1
WHERE OFFENSENO not IN (SELECT OFFENSENO FROM offense.dbo.offense t2 WHERE t2.OFFENSENO=t1.OFFENSENO)


i'm wanting the resultset for the times i run this against different tables to be dropped into a new table. I've tried tacking a "Select * into " portion at the beginning and turning the above into a subselect, but I'm in syntax hell. So, how do i use the above to make a select into for a new table?

thanks

SELECT offenseno INTO #Table FROM offense.dbo.off_per
EXCEPT
SELECT OFFENSENO FROM offense.dbo.offense

Sorry, my original query was inaccurate. i'm actually selecting ALL columns from off_per into the new table where the offenseno value is not in offense..offense

So, based on that, i've tried to tweak the solution you provided, but to no avail.

do you mean repeating logic for several tables to populate a common destination table?

no, basically i'm just modifying the script to run it against different tables, but it should provide the same thing. The last solution provided by Chad seems to work. Thanks all
