Re: Division

Hi, there,

I don't quit sure what you really want to solve, however,
if you use EXCEPT results1 and result2 should be same type rather than
tables, i.e.
select a,b from tab1
except
select c,d from tab2;

a,c are same type
b,d are same type.

notes, EXCEPT to big table is not efficient, so does IN clause.
