I have two temp tables that I'm creating on the fly.It is basically the words and their synonyms.
1.
ID NAME
1 FAST
2 WHILD
1 QUICK
3 SUNNY
4 PERFECT
3 BRIGHT

2.
ID
3
2

I need to have a query which will return everything from first (1) table with identified rows that are in the second (2) table. The identifier can be anything, lets put word "-selected" next to matched name for now.

In this case it will be next output:

FAST
WHILD - selected
QUICK
SUNNY - selected
PERFECT
BRIGHT - selected

Thank you

select t1.name, case when t2.ID is null then '' else 'selected' end
from #t1 t1
left join #t2 t2
on t1.ID = t2.ID

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
