I'm sorry, you had it right the first time. Here's a script that
verifies it:
create table table1 (
a integer,
b integer,
c char(1)
);
insert into table1 values ( 1, 12, 'A');
insert into table1 values ( 2, 16, 'B');
insert into table1 values ( 8, 6, 'A');
insert into table1 values (19, 9, 'C');
insert into table1 values (20, 12, 'A');
create table table2 (
a integer,
b integer,
c char(1)
);
insert into table2 values ( 1, 13, 'D');
insert into table2 values ( 2, 16, 'B');
insert into table2 values ( 8, 6, 'B');
insert into table2 values (12, 5, 'A');
select * from table1
union
select table2.* from table2 left join table1 on table2.a=table1.a and
table2.b=table1.b where table2.a is null;
drop table table1;
drop table table2;
