Hi,
The procedure DBMS_COMPARISON.CREATE_COMPARISON creates a comparison. What if I want to delete the created comparison and its data in the dictionary views?

The challenge we have is not comparing table data (which is offered in other products) but to compare ALL the metadata associated with the two tables. This is the challenge and has been the challenge with profiling and cleansing. I have recently become a convert of an open-standard called JUMP Metadata (sourceforge project JUMPER has script plug-ins for some tools) and cannot wait for vendors to finally see the light and begin to adopt this method.

You did describe how to compare tables by setting the scan info. But i have a query how do you go for comparing two adjacent rows of same table. I was thinking to use varrays aong with data dictionary but the coulmn type wouldn’t be same for each column in the varray.
So how do i use the DBMS.compasrison package.
