Openquery q

Hi,
INSERT INTO my table (c1, c2, .cn)
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY (SS, 'SELECT c1, c2, .cn
FROM "mytable2"')
How can be retrieved only values From my table2( in the
linked server) that are NOT IN mytable ( or values that
are > max(values of my table )?
(The linked server is an Access, only openquery
statements are working)
Thanks for any suggestions.
DobbyThis is completely untested, but it may give you enough information to =get started...
SELECT A.* FROM OPENQUERY (SS, 'SELECT c1, c2, .cn FROM "mytable2"') A
LEFT OUTER JOIN mytable B ON A.PrimaryKeyColumn =3D B.PrimaryKeyColumn
WHERE B.PrimaryKeyColumn IS NULL
You could also try to write it using NOT EXISTS as well as NOT IN
