I need help on a query to do the following:

I have a table with the following structure

Table 1

ru_proj_id varchar 6
ru_resource_cat varchar 10
ru_resource_id varchar 10
ru_role varchar 50
ru_joindate Datetime
ru_estimate_releasedate Datetime

I have another table, Table 2 having the identical structure.

None of the 2 tables have a primary key.

I need to compare the data in the 2 tables.
For each record, if the value in any column in Table 1 differs
from the column value of the corresponding record in Table 2, the record in Table 1 should be updated with the value of Table 2.

If it is not possible to update in a single query, even a SELECT query that returns the mismatched records would help.

Not having a primary key makes this impossible as there is no way to determine the "corresponding record" ...
