Re: Quick SQL How to Question

["Jeff Silberberg" <jsilberberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No,

    I don't think this is the answer. If I run a DIFF in Unix it shows me
the records that match on the unique key, but have any elements that have
change.  CHGPFM will do a simular comparison and exception report.

        In this case while both would do the job neither meet the
specification I could do a select * from a inner join b, on x=y where
((a.fld1 <> b.fld1) or (a.fld2 <> b.fld2).............or (A.lstFld <>
B.lstFld)) . But this is messy..  Would really like something clean like
CMPPFM only in SQL ?????

     TIA,
        JMS..
