select 'In A not In B' direction, table_a.* from table_a minus
select 'In A not In B' direction, table_b.* from table_b union
select 'In B not In A' direction, table_b.* from table_b minus
select 'In B not In A' direction, table_a.* from table_a

I have two tables which have the same column names but some column has different data than another. I'd like to compare data stores in these two tables to get differences. Is there a SQL command that helps me to compare the data between two tables?

Thanks,
David
