How to compare two fields, from 2 tables in 2 different databases ?

Hey im trying to do the following in PHP:

Connect to 2 different databases, one named complete and one
incomplete.

My goal is to find whats missing in the "incomplete " database.

The fields i want to compare in the database/table is named 'name' in
both. This field is comtaining unique names

How would you guys do that? arr1 vs arr2 compare or maybe some left
join sql?
I want to output the diff to screen.

Anyone can show me a sample, to get me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

Not too hard to do in php... Make 2 arrays with the names and array_diff
them.

I'm assuming you're using MySQL - just because most people here are. If
so, you don't even need PHP. Try comp.databases. mysql for a SQL only
solution.

In the followng stored procedure, 2 NULL columns (COMM) are selected into 2 different SP variables and compared for equal. They are both NULL, but do not compare as equal. When the Not NULL columns (SALARY) are compared, they do compare as equal.
