I have a table with four columns. The first column ID1 has one similar row in ID2. I like to select a query to get all rows from ID2, except the identical record. For instance:
ID1 Name1 ID2 Name2
-------------------
01 A 01 A
01 A 02 B
01 A 03 C
03 C 03 C
03 C 01 A
03 C 04 G
Select ID2, Name2 From table where ID2 <> ID1
Output should be:
ID2, Name2
----------
02 B
03 C
01 A
04 G
03/C and 01 A need to be here. If I use distinct, then it exludes all identical records of ID1, which I don't want to. I am using classic ASP to select ID1 groups in SELECt option list. if I select 01, then SELECT option list for ID2 appear. I only want to see all ID2 that is not in ID1.

Can someone help me please? Thanks.
I think there is no need for explanation:
select id2, name2
from t
where (id1 <> id2) OR (name1 <> name2)
I think you want not exists. But your result set doesn't seem to match the description of the question.
select id2, name2
from t
where not exists (select 1
from t t2
where t2.id1 = t.id2 and t2.name1 = t.name2
);
