patindex compares a string with a column in a databse table....

I need to compare column a in a table1 with column b in table 2

is there a wfunction where I could compare using column names.

basically I need a patindex like function which will compare two columns in one table or two different tables..

If the tables can be joined together, then patindex can still be used.

Otherwise, please provide a data example.

IN SQL SERVER PATINDEX USED TO FIND THE POSITION OF A CHARACTER IN A STRING.

SELECT * FROM TEMPTABLE2 T WHERE EXISTS (SELECT COL2 FROM TEMPTABLE2
WHERE COL2=T.COL2)
THIS TYPE OF SQL STATEMENT ALSO COMPARING TWO COLUMNS VALUES.
