RE: Comparing data in two tables

I just set up the sample tables to try an exception join and it seems to work.

select * from table1 exception join table2
using (field1, field2)

Table 1
02 1.5
04 16.0

Table 2
02 1.5
04 16.0

Results: no records
---
Table 1
02 1.5
04 16.0

Table 2

Results:
02 1.5
04 16.0
---
Table 1
02 1.5
04 16.0

Table 2
02 1.5

Results:
04 16.0

What is MR?

For some visual reference here is what I am looking for:

This is what I need to make sure is true.

Table 1
02 1.5
04 16.0

Table 2
02 1.5
04 16.0

The problem is when

Table 1
02 1.5

Table 2
02 1.5
04 16.0

or when

Table 1
02 1.5
04 16.0

Table 2
02 1.5

or more so when

Table 1
02 1.5
04 16.0

Table 2

I have two tables that I need to compare to make sure the values
match. For context, one is the employee's time sheet and the other is
a table to holds their requests. Each has a time sheet code and a
number of hours. My plan was to compare by summary to see if they
match. However, I am having problems getting my logic to work
perfectly every time. Without me posting my code (it is becoming a
mess quickly anyway), how would you approach this?
