Hi,
Here are two separate sql queries.
They get the records which are available in one table but not in the other...



1)
insert into tblMain
select ...
from
	@tbl1 left join @tbl2 on @tbl1.field1 = @tbl2.field1
		and @tbl1.field2 = @tbl2.field2
where
	@tbl2.field1 IS NULL
	AND @tbl2.field2 IS NULL

2)
insert into tblMain
select...
from
	@tbl2 left join @tbl1 on @tbl1.field1 = @tbl2.field1
		and @tbl1.field2 = @tbl2.field2
where
	@tbl1.field1 IS NULL
	AND @tbl1.field2 IS NULL

Question:
How can the above two queries be joined into one sql?

Thanks

[code]
insert into tblMain
select ...
from
@tbl1 left join @tbl2 on @tbl1.field1 = @tbl2.field1
and @tbl1.field2 = @tbl2.field2
where
@tbl2.field1 IS NULL
AND @tbl2.field2 IS NULL

UNION ALL

select...
from
@tbl2 left join @tbl1 on @tbl1.field1 = @tbl2.field1
and @tbl1.field2 = @tbl2.field2
where
@tbl1.field1 IS NULL
AND @tbl1.field2 IS NULL

[/code]

No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.
