I have two tables that join on a peopleid field. Each table also has a state value. I need to get a list of records that join on the peopleid field where the state fields don't match. I'm not sure how to construct this. Just to clarify the table definitions would be like...

Table1
PeopleId int
State char(2)

Table2
PeopleId int
State char(2)

Maybe just?


SELECT
    t1.[peopleId]
    , t1.[state]
    , t2.[state]
FROM
    table1 t1
    JOIN table2 t2 ON t2.[peopleId] = t1.[peopleID]
WHERE
    t1.[state] <> t2.[state]
    OR (t1.[state] IS NULL AND t2.[state] IS NOT NULL)
    OR (t1.[state] IS NOT NULL AND t2.[state] IS NULL)

Hmmm, I don't know why I didn't think of that:) Thanks!
