• A simple enough change, but you still need a key row on table1 to know the exact row. See the modified code below as well as my slightly modified table so you can identify the exact culprit rows:

    declare @Table1 table

    (RowID INT,

    id int,

    StartDt datetime,

    EndDt datetime)

    insert into @Table1

    select 1, 1,'2009-11-28 00:00:00.000',''

    union all

    select 2, 1,'2009-11-07 00:00:00.000','2009-11-27 00:00:00.000'

    union all

    select 3, 1,'2009-07-01 00:00:00.000','2009-11-06 00:00:00.000'

    union all

    select 4, 1,'2009-06-19 00:00:00.000','2009-06-30 00:00:00.000'

    union all

    select 5, 2,'2009-11-28 00:00:00.000',''

    union all

    select 6, 2,'2009-11-07 00:00:00.000','2009-11-27 00:00:00.000'

    union all

    select 7, 2,'2009-07-01 00:00:00.000','2009-11-06 00:00:00.000'

    union all

    select 8, 2,'2009-06-19 00:00:00.000','2009-06-30 00:00:00.000'

    declare @Table2 table

    (id int,

    StartDt datetime,

    EndDt datetime)

    insert into @Table2

    select 1,'2008-11-05 00:00:00.000','2009-11-06 00:00:00.000'

    union all

    select 1,'2007-11-29 00:00:00.000','2008-11-04 00:00:00.000'

    union all

    select 1,'2007-09-04 00:00:00.000','2007-09-04 00:00:00.000'

    union all

    select 1,'2007-07-02 00:00:00.000','2007-07-12 00:00:00.000'

    union all

    select 1,'2006-09-05 00:00:00.000','2007-06-21 00:00:00.000'

    union all

    select 2,'2008-11-05 00:00:00.000','2009-11-06 00:00:00.000'

    union all

    select 2,'2007-11-29 00:00:00.000','2008-11-04 00:00:00.000'

    union all

    select 2,'2007-09-04 00:00:00.000','2007-09-04 00:00:00.000'

    select 2,'2007-07-02 00:00:00.000','2007-07-12 00:00:00.000'

    union all

    select 2,'2006-09-05 00:00:00.000','2007-06-21 00:00:00.000'

    ;WITH pivotedData AS

    (SELECT RowID, id, StartDt as TestDT

    FROM@Table1

    UNION ALL

    SELECT RowID, id, EndDt AS TestDT

    FROM@Table1

    )

    SELECT DISTINCT

    pd.RowID

    FROM

    pivotedData AS pd

    LEFT JOIN

    @table2 AS t2

    ONpd.id = t2.id

    AND pd.TestDT >= t2.StartDt

    AND pd.TestDt <= t2.EndDt

    WHERE

    t2.id IS NULL
