Environment: SQL server 2005 and Win 7
Tools: Management studio 2008 R2
Question: I have 381 records of which two are unwanted and let us call it Query A. Whereas, Query B has an outcome, which identified the right two records to keep in Query A. How to exclude unwanted data from query outcome. If I would have used except
statement or intersect, I would have miss the rest of the records in query A (279). I can not use merge statement because I have SQL server 2005
Example
Query A results
