The first query in the union has an extra right parenthesis; the
second query has a misspelled table name ("geomety_columns" instead
of "geometry_columns").

The name geometry_columns suggests that you're using PostGIS. What
are you trying to do? Are you looking for values of tables.jmeno
that aren't in geometry_columns.f_table_name, or vice versa, or
both? Maybe this example will help:
CREATE TABLE geometry_columns (f_table_name text);
CREATE TABLE tables (jmeno text);
INSERT INTO geometry_columns (f_table_name) VALUES ('only in geometry_columns');
INSERT INTO geometry_columns (f_table_name) VALUES ('in both');
INSERT INTO tables (jmeno) VALUES ('only in tables');
INSERT INTO tables (jmeno) VALUES ('in both');
SELECT f_table_name FROM geometry_columns EXCEPT SELECT jmeno FROM tables;
f_table_name
--------------------------
only in geometry_columns
(1 row)
SELECT jmeno FROM tables EXCEPT SELECT f_table_name FROM geometry_columns;
jmeno
----------------
only in tables
(1 row)
(SELECT f_table_name FROM geometry_columns EXCEPT SELECT jmeno FROM tables)
UNION
(SELECT jmeno FROM tables EXCEPT SELECT f_table_name FROM geometry_columns);
f_table_name
--------------------------
only in geometry_columns
only in tables
(2 rows)
SELECT f_table_name FROM geometry_columns INTERSECT SELECT jmeno FROM tables;
f_table_name
--------------
in both
(1 row)
