THANKS

Ok now if I want to insert those values into table A ??

I've got the following:
(TA = table A, TB = table B)

insert into TA
SELECT TB.Id,TB.Code,TB.Name from TB
LEFT JOIN TA
ON TB.Id = TA.Id
WHERE TA.Id IS NULL

It's working, but is there another way ?

If it's working, why do you need another way?
