Append two tables to one when the primary key do not match

I have two Q VD files (table1, table2) with the same column names, and I would like to append them into a single table called "final_table". The append operation should only occur when the primary keys do not match from both tables. However, with the current code, I am only seeing IDs from table1 appear, and IDs from table2 are not being included.

I would appreciate your guidance in resolving this issue.

 

LOAD *
From table1;
Concatenate LOAD * FROM table2
WHERE NOT Exists(id);

Table2:
LOAD ID

FROM xyz;

NoConcatenate
Final_Table:
LOAD * Resident
Where not Exists(IDToCheck,ID);

DROP Table Table1;

DROP Field LookUpID;
