Pat | Hi all,
I have 2 tables v4 (FieldsData1 and FieldsData2) and they are identical in structure (have 16 fields). The table field names are based on the DBSYS field names ie Position, FieldName, DataType, Size, Required,..... and an extra two fields called TableName and DataFolder. I want to find the unique records between these 2 tables. I can find unique FieldName records by < SELECT DataFolder, TableName, FieldName, Size FROM FieldsData1 WHERE FieldName NOT IN (SELECT FieldName FROM FieldsData2) UNION SELECT DataFolder, TableName, FieldName, Size FROM FieldsData2 WHERE FieldName NOT IN (SELECT FieldName FROM FieldsData1) > but how do I find the differences in the other fields like DataType, Size,... in these 2 tables records? I could do an SQL for every record field (16 of them) but is there a better way? Regards, Pat |

"Raul" | Have you thought of using the DBISAM system field "RecordHash" ? As per manual "RecordHash is an MD5 binary value (16 bytes) that represents the hash of a given record". As i recall it does not work for BLOBs but might be of value : in theory all you'd need to do is compare the RecordHash for the matching rows between 2 tables. Might be worth a try.

Pat | >I want to find the unique records between these 2 tables.
maybe UNIQUE is not quite right a bit more info, these 2 tables (FieldsData1 and FieldsData2) store the table field information from 2 data folders. My aim is to compare the 2 data folders and find: - what tables are in one data folder and NOT the other - with common tables in both data folders, what fields are different in these tables The code snippet I showed tells me what TABLES & FIELDS differ between the 2 folders but it does not show what, say, String fields are different sizes. |

How about something like this? SELECT ... FROM FieldsData1 T1 JOIN FieldsData2 T2 on (T1.TableName = T2.TableName) WHERE ((T1.Field1 <> T2.Field1) OR (T1.Field2 <> T2.Field2) ... ) Robert |
