Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: compare two tables.
srinivas,
The following is a script to compare two schemas. If you don't want to go the whole hog, edit the script - but it may help you in full at some other time.
col table_name format a30 col column_name format a30 col medph2_format format a30
'NUMBER',decode(a.data_scale,0,'NUMBER('||a.data_precision||')',
'NUMBER('||a.data_precision||','||a.data_scale||')'
),
a.data_type||'('||a.data_length||')'
)||' '||decode(a.nullable,'N','not null',' ') USERA_format,
decode(b.data_type,'DATE','DATE',
'NUMBER',decode(b.data_scale,0,'NUMBER('||b.data_precision||')',
'NUMBER('||b.data_precision||','||b.data_scale||')'
),
b.data_type||'('||b.data_length||')'
)||' '||decode(b.nullable,'N','not null',' ') USERB_format
from all_tab_columns a,
all_tab_columns b
where a.owner = 'USERA'
and b.owner = 'USERB'
and a.table_name = b.table_name
and a.column_name = b.column_name
and (a.data_type <> b.data_type
or a.data_length <> b.data_length
or a.data_precision <> b.data_precision
or a.data_scale <> b.data_scale
or a.nullable <> b.nullable)
order by 1, 2

Hi lists
while doing export & import, often I need to check whether the target table has any excess columns or does the column have different datatypes/sizes from source table.
as our tables have many columns it has become tedious to check every time.
can anybody post me any sql or pl/sql script that will perform the above task.
the query needs to perform the check on 2 tables. the tables will have same name in different schemas.
but the columns in them may vary or the datatypes/sizes to same columns may vary in source and target.
it has to pick out the differed columns, sizes.
thanx in advance.
