  Hi All,

  
Source table:
CREATE TABLE EMP_CLIENT(
 ID INT     NOT NULL,
 NAME VARCHAR (20)  NOT NULL,
 AGE INT     NOT NULL,
 ADDRESS CHAR (25) ,
 SALARY DECIMAL (18, 2),  
 PRIMARY KEY (ID)
);
INSERT INTO EMP_CLIENT (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)
VALUES (1, 'Ramesh', 32, 'Ahmedabad', 2000.00 );

  INSERT INTO EMP_CLIENT (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)
VALUES (2, 'Khilan', 25, 'Delhi', 1500.00 );

  INSERT INTO EMP_CLIENT (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)
VALUES (3, 'kaushik', 23, 'Kota', 2000.00 );

  INSERT INTO EMP_CLIENT (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)
VALUES (4, 'Chaitali', 25, 'Mumbai', 6500.00 );

  INSERT INTO EMP_CLIENT (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)
VALUES (5, 'Hardik', 27, 'Bhopal', 8500.00 );

  INSERT INTO EMP_CLIENT (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)
VALUES (6, 'Komal', 22, 'MP', 4500.00 );

  Target table:
CREATE TABLE EMP_PROVIDER(
 ID INT     NOT NULL,
 NAME VARCHAR (20)  NOT NULL,
 AGE INT     NOT NULL,
 ADDRESS CHAR (25) ,
 SALARY DECIMAL (18, 2),  
 PRIMARY KEY (ID)
);

  INSERT INTO EMP_PROVIDER (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)
VALUES (1, 'Ramesh', 32, 'Ahmedabad', 2000.00 );

  INSERT INTO EMP_PROVIDER (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)
VALUES (2, 'Khilan', 25, 'Delhi', 1500.00 );

  INSERT INTO EMP_PROVIDER (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)
VALUES (7, 'kaushik', 23, 'Kota', 2000.00 );

  INSERT INTO EMP_PROVIDER (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)
VALUES (4, 'saravanan', 25, 'Mumbai', 6500.00 );

  INSERT INTO EMP_PROVIDER (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)
VALUES (5, 'Hardik', 27, '', 8.00 );

  INSERT INTO EMP_PROVIDER (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)
VALUES (6, '', 22, 'MP', 4500.00 );


  I want to find out mismatch records so I tried below query

  SELECT * FROM EMP_CLIENT
EXCEPT 
SELECT * FROM EMP_PROVIDER


  But EXCEPT query is giving mismatch records but it is not giving on which column it is not matching .

  
To find individual mismatch record I am using below query.
SELECT
CASE WHEN CLI.ID<>PRO.ID THEN 'CLI.ID'ELSE ''END +
CASE WHEN CLI.NAME<>PRO.NAME THEN 'CLI.NAME' ELSE ''END+
CASE WHEN CLI.AGE<>PRO.AGE THEN 'CLI.AGE' ELSE ''END+
CASE WHEN CLI.[ADDRESS]<>PRO.[ADDRESS] THEN 'CLI.[ADDRESS]' ELSE ''END+
CASE WHEN CLI.SALARY<>PRO.SALARY THEN 'CLI.SALARY'ELSE ''END AS MATCHING_RECORDS,
CLI.ID,CLI.NAME,CLI.AGE,CLI.[ADDRESS],CLI.SALARY
FROM EMP_CLIENT CLI
LEFT OUTER JOIN
EMP_PROVIDER PRO
ON CLI.ID=PRO.ID
WHERE
(CLI.ID<>PRO.ID OR CLI.NAME<>PRO.NAME OR CLI.AGE<>PRO.AGE
OR CLI.[ADDRESS]<>PRO.[ADDRESS] OR CLI.SALARY<>PRO.SALARY)


  I would like to know is there  any other better approach to find individual column mismatch between 2  tables.

  Adding to Erikur point. That you should not join with name column as it might have duplicate records and in turn results in Cartesian product. Mostly we need to join with primary key in this case with ID column

  It would appear that the ID is only unique to the table it is used in and, therefore, would not satisfy a join between the two tables.  What, other than ID, would satisfy a 1:1 join between these two table?  If you can't do that, then you can't actually identify which column caused the mismatch.

  RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
  First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
  ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

  Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
