Don't forget to reply all so that everyone on the list can participate. Also, do this is good
since it doesn't limit you to my limited knowledge. ;)

row() doesn't do what you think it does.

you have to specify every column that you want to compare, so:

row(t.col1, t.col2, t.col3, t.col4) <> row(p.col1, p.col2, p.col3, p.col4)

where the datatypes of each respective column match. i.e. t.col1 maps to p.col1, ...
