To all, Watch for Word Wrap............... Being quite a novice with Stored Procedures on SQL Server 7.0, I'm looking for some pretty urgent help at the moment. I have two tables, lets say Table A & Table B. Table A is my master table, and Table B is a temporary table. Before Table be gets populated with any data, every existing record is deleted so I start with a fresh table so to speak. Table B consists of 3 fields PayrollNo, JobDate, JobType (these fields are also in the master table, but the master table is used to contain other consting information, which is entered at a later date). What I would like is a Stored Procedure which would Insert Table B contents into Table A, but making sure that I don't insert any duplicates into Table A (something like an unmatched query in access but with an Insert also). i.e. Table A Table B payroll jobdate jobtype id payroll jobdate jobtype 999001 01/01/01 0 1 999001 01/01/01 0 999001 01/01/01 2 2 999001 01/01/01 1 999002 01/01/01 2 3 999001 01/01/01 2 4 999002 01/01/01 0 5 999002 01/01/01 1 6 999002 01/01/01 2 So when I invoke the stored procedure, it would insert records 2, 4 and 5 from Table B into Table A........Anyone any idea what I'm on about, if so can anybody please help.......
