I suppose you are taking for sure that both queries references tables
with the same structure, in such case why not computing an hash of
each row to check against the other result set?
About how many rows are we talking? Because it sounds to me like a
good job for a diff-like external tool, is this a possible solution?
Have you considered that the tables could have a different structure
or even just a different layout, in such case a "select *" will return
different results while the data is actually the same?
What is the aim of this?
