Query to Return Missing Data
I have two tables with almost exact structure, but one table always seems to not be updated appropriately. To show the issue, I have created two test tables that illustrate.
Declare @Test1 Table (card4 int, d1 date, amt float)
Declare @Test2 Table (card4 int, d1 date, amt float)
Insert Into @Test1 VALUES
('4356', '01/01/2015', '12.24'),
('4356', '01/01/2015', '44.12'),
('1111', '01/01/2015', '55.10'),
('2222', '01/01/2015', '23.12')
Insert Into @Test2 VALUES
('4356', '01/01/2015', '12.24'),
('4356', '01/02/2015', '11.11'),
('4356', '01/01/2015', '44.12')
Select * from @Test1
Select * from @Test2
From the sample data @Test1 is missing the amt 11.11 and I am not sure how to write a query that will pull all values from @Test1 and any values that are missing from @Test2
This is the data set that I want returned
card4 d1 amt
1111 1/1/2015 55.1
2222 1/1/2015 23.12
4356 1/1/2015 12.24
4356 1/1/2015 44.12
4356 1/2/2015 11.11
What would syntax be to achieve this?

You can use UNION between your two select statements to answer the question you asked. However, certain issues you mention (near identical tables, missing entries) point to other underlying problems.

You can use SQL's EXCEPT clause.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188055.aspx
Values in the first table (the left query) that are not in the second (the right query) will be shown. You can change the table order to achieve the opposite.
select * from @Test1
except
select * from @Test2
