comparing two tables

8 New Member
Dear All,
I want to compare two tables.
Both of the tables have same fields but their location in terms of columns can be different.

My target is to get those fields only whose values are found different on comparing.

Regards

We need more information. i.e. What fields are in the tables, how are they related, what kind of data do the tables hold, and when you say compare them, how is the comparison being made?

With limited information, I'll have to make some assumptions:
__1 Table Names: Table1 and Table2
__2 Number of Fields: 4 in each Table
__3 Field Names: Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4
__4 Number of Records in each Table: irrelevant (as long as equal)
__5 This code is adaptable to include Record Numbers, more/less Fields, etc.

To find the differences between Field values in each Table:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Dim MyDB As DAO.Database, MyRS As DAO.Recordset
  2. Dim intCountOfFields As Integer, MyRS2 As DAO.Recordset
  3.  
  4. Set MyDB = CurrentDb()
  5. Set MyRS = MyDB.OpenRecordset("Table1", dbOpenDynaset)
  6. Set MyRS2 = MyDB.OpenRecordset("Table2", dbOpenDynaset)
  7.  
  8. Do While Not MyRS.EOF
  9.   If MyRS![Field1] <> MyRS2![Field1] Then
  10.       Debug.Print MyRS![Field1] & " <> " & MyRS2![Field1]
  11.   End If
  12.  
  13.   If MyRS![Field2] <> MyRS2![Field2] Then
  14.       Debug.Print MyRS![Field2] & " <> " & MyRS2![Field2]
  15.   End If
  16.  
  17.   If MyRS![Field3] <> MyRS2![Field3] Then
  18.       Debug.Print MyRS![Field3] & " <> " & MyRS2![Field3]
  19.   End If
  20.  
  21.   If MyRS![Field4] <> MyRS2![Field4] Then
  22.       Debug.Print MyRS![Field4] & " <> " & MyRS2![Field4]
  23.   End If
  24.   MyRS.MoveNext
  25.   MyRS2.MoveNext
  26. Loop
  27.  
  28. MyRS.Close
  29. MyRS2.Close

explaining my query.......... ......
first consider both of the tables have same number of fields and name of fields are same as well.
Let say I have 10 fields and I want to compare 10 fields of table 1 from table 2.
As far as values in the fields are concerned, they can be any number like 1, 5000, 32,2,0 etc.
I mean comparing like if one of the fields has value 1 in table one and in table 2, the same field is having value 2 instead of 1, so I want to find out only these changes.
Result can be shown in any way

I have to lists, A and B, that may, or may not be equal. If they are not identical, I want the output to be three new lists, X,Y and Z where X has all the elements that are in A, but not in B, and Y contains all the elements that are B but not in A. Z will then have the elements that are in both A and B. One way of doing this is of course to iterate throug the lists and compare each of the element, but is there a more efficient way? ...

Hi Guys I want to find out if two tables are identical (e.g. same fields, same indexes, etc....). Not the data, but the table structure itself. Is there a smart way to do that? Cheers

Hello all, I'm led to believe that the .Net framework offers intelligent string comparison such that é follows e in an alphabetic sort rather than appearing after z, for example. Does this mean that there is a mechanism for comparing strings that may or may not have accents and having them shown as identical (e.g. comparing Herve with Hèrvé would show a match). Ideally, this should be culture neutral as I will not have knowledge of which...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
