  • 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 ..
