Subject: How do you compare contents of two tables using 2 pk
Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2005 12:17:48 -0500
Message-ID: <LPENJIOOLAIJBFKIBDKOEECKMEAD.kenta@ezyield.com> (raw)

I have two tables that should contain the same number or records. Both
tables use the same 2 foreign keys as their primary keys.

I did a count on the number of records in both and found one table has 500
records less than the first table so I need to know which records are not in
the second table.

table 1
t1_fk_wm (FK)
t1_fk_hm (FK)
...
...
...

table 2
t2_fk_wm  (FK)
t2_fk_hm  (FK)
....

Table 2 doesn't have the same number of records as the first table however
it should.

Any suggestions would be appreciated as I am still very much a beginner at
SQL.
