How to copy distinct records from one table to another using SQL 2005

Oct 24th, 2007

I have a table on an offline database having let say 2000 rows and same table on an online database with let say 3000 rows. Now I want to copy just those records (1000) from online database that are not in the offline database table. Also, both tables have same name, same schema etc.
