I have table_a storing the originally submitted applicant information,

change I'd like to compare it to the original table to see what fields
were changed, preferably without opening the row from both tables and
going field by field in code to see if they match...

This should work
select * from table_a a, table_b b where a.applicantId = b.applicantId
and ((a.row1 != b.row1) or (a.row2 != b.row2) or ..... )
