Compare multiple columns to check if columns are duplicate PostgreSQL
I am trying to compare multiple column with each other to find if the columns in a table have similar values or duplicate and each table has more then 200+ columns.
Is there are way to compare using loop in PostgreSQL?

You can compare whole rows with a condition like(tab1.*) = (tab2.*)
. For more, please provide more details.

its a single table that has multiple columns. the comparison should be one is to many for example 1:1,1:2,1:3,1:4...etc then again 2:3,2:4,2:5,2:6 and so on...first column compare with all 200 + columns and same type of exercise for 2nd column, 3rd column, 4th column like wise for all the columns ..
