That is, I want all records from Table1 and the records from Table2 that do not have matches. I think INNER or LEFT JOINT won't give me that. At least I tried.

I think the PK here has nothing to do whit the query :-)
It can have whatever value you want :-) and Dmitry just copy & paste the records :-)
