Microsoft released <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162843.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">a tool to compare data</a> between SQL tables, this might a good option in certain situations. Edit: Forgot to mention, it also generates a script to insert/update missing or different rows. For completeness, I hacked up this query which does what you want, it updates existing table2 records, and adds those that are missing, based off the email address. The 'updating' and 'insert missing' queries below are the ones you want. <pre><code>BEGIN TRAN create table #table1 (id int, fname varchar(20), email varchar(20)) insert into #table1 values (1, 'name_1_updated', 'email_1') insert into #table1 values (3, 'name_3_updated', 'email_3') insert into #table1 values (100, 'name_100', 'email_100') create table #table2 (id int, fname varchar(20), email varchar(20)) insert into #table2 values (1, 'name_1', 'email_1') insert into #table2 values (2, 'name_2', 'email_2') insert into #table2 values (3, 'name_3', 'email_3') insert into #table2 values (4, 'name_4', 'email_4') print 'before update' select * from #table2 print 'updating' update #table2 set #table2.fname = t1.fname from #table1 t1 where t1.email = #table2.email print 'insert missing' insert into #table2 select * from #table1 where #table1.email not in (select email from #table2 where email = #table1.email) print 'after update' select * from #table2 drop table #table1 drop table #table2 ROLLBACK </code></pre>

2. COThis if for anyone using pre SQL 2008, since the MERGE command is only supported in SQL 2008. They pulled it from the RTM release. Silly SQL team.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
