And I have a “Exceptions” table, with a column’s row like it :

What I’d like to do is taking only the text present in the first table ( and NOT in the second ) and putting it into a third table.

Sorry if I’m not clear, I did my best with my english.. Thanks in advance.

    Assuming you want the rows that are in Machines (without the ones that are in Exceptions), you can select them like this:

    select *
from Machines
where columnName not in (select columnName from Exceptions)

    You can then insert them using insert into like this (assuming Machines and the newTable with the same columns):

    insert into newTableName
select *
from Machines
where columnName not in (select columnName from Exceptions)

    If they have different columns, you can select them..

    Since they are in all in the same column and row, you’ll need to use like to check if they are present and replace to delete the needed part if so.
