What it does

Runs two SQL queries against the same MySQL database and compares their results. The example builds two payment summaries for different periods, then a Compare Datasets step sorts the rows into four outputs: only in A, only in B, the same in both, and different between the two. It uses the MySQL sample database.

  1. 01Find orders that appear in one period but not another
  2. 02Spot rows where a total differs between two reports
