SELECT * FROM #temp1 WHERE ID NOT IN(SELECT ID FROM #temp3)
I WANT all the IDS in #temp1 that are NOT IN #temp2
BUe In am not getting the result with the above query.What should be the wrong with that.

Other than the typoe of using temp3 instead of temp2 (or vice versa ), I don't see anything wrong. Have you displayed the contents of both table to assure you have the expected values?

What are the data types? Is it possible that there is a some subtle mismatch?

Are there any NULL ID's in #temp3
If so, you won't get any results.
If this is the case, either add a clause AND ID IS NOT NULL when selecting from #temp3 or use WHERE NOT EXISTS (...#temp3)instead.

I have found that using a join normally produces a faster query.
SELECT t1.*
FROM #temp1 t1
LEFT JOIN #temp2 t2
ON t2.ID = t1.ID
WHERE t2.ID IS NULL
