Adam,

A LEFT EXCEPTION JOIN union RIGHT EXCEPTION JOIN would give you only non-matching records.

I thought that's what the OP was looking for. I probably should have re-read that post before writing. Sorry Terri, my solution won't help with printing the records where records exist in both files but are different.

Does matching records have a slick way of doing that?


actually you don't even need the correlation clause, this works too:
select file1.*, file2.*
from file1, file2

I figured that not every field would need to be printed in the report. I thought "select *" was generally thought to be bad form for production queries, as it does not insulate from file layout changes.

Thanks for the tips,
Adam
