    Question

    hi all
    i have 2 tables and with same columns but one column extra in TABLE 2

    i am checking / comparing the data in TABLE1 and TABLE 2 are same or not. if any record or column value is different i need to populate that record. in table 1 around 5000 records and in table 2 8000 records existing.

    i tried like this


    select t1.col1,t1.col2,t1.col3 from table1 t1,table2 t2 where t1.col2 <> t2.col2 and t1.col3 <> t2.col3

    i am getting different results when i am executing the above SQL statement.

    i am not getting correct results and it's also very slow.

    how to compare the 2 tables.


    thanks in advnace.

    select t1.col1,t1.col2,t1.col3 from table1 t1
    where not existsts
    (select null from table2 t2
    where t2.col1 = t1.col1 and t2.col2=t1.col2 and t2.col3 = t1.col3);

    This will list all the rows from table1 where no rows with the same values in col1, col2 and col3 exist in table2.

    How do you deal with NULLS in the where clause?

    I've tried nvl on both side but it won't work
    i.e.

    nvl(t2.col1,'X')t2.col1 = nvl(t1.col1,'X')t2.col1
