following examples.
1.create TABLE A AND B With similar structure
2.insert records in Table A and B.
3.Keep some records identical(here 2 rows).
4.find out the difference betwn 2 looking into the output.
CREATE TABLE A(NAME VARCHAR2(30));
INSERT INTO A VALUES('A');
INSERT INTO A VALUES('B');
INSERT INTO A VALUES('C');
INSERT INTO A VALUES('D');
COMMIT;
CREATE TABLE B(NAME VARCHAR2(30));
INSERT INTO b VALUES('A')
INSERT INTO b VALUES('B')
INSERT INTO b VALUES('Y')
INSERT INTO b VALUES('X')
