1. Table A colum Z
2. Table H column Y from anothe db
Data from 1. will be inserted into 2.
I need to check if all data from 1. are inserted into 2. Successfully.
Not only verify the records.but the data. Like data has abcd1234 then it should also inserted into 2. exactly
Sorry that I am rookie in SQL query. Can it be done via query and return true/ false result? And pointing which data is not inserted if false?

select COLUMNZ FROM TABLEA
EXCEPT
SELECT COLUMNY FROM TABLEH

IF YOU SEE 0 RECORDS,IT MEANS ALL DATAS ARE SAME,,IF ANY ROWS, THEN DATA FOR THAT ROW IS DIFFERENT.

Thanks.
How do I compare when the table is located at different db?
Can I use multiple except to compare more than 2 table?
