Thank you very much for taking the time to help.
This is what I had tried myself but it does not cover the cases where
1) (1,1,1) exists in T1 but not in T2
1) (1,1,1) exists in T1 and T2 but X = false
As an aside: I see you use UNIQUE INDEX. I had created T1 with PRIMARY
KEY (D,S,C) assuming that that would create a unique index.
