I have a two huge tables I need to compare field by field to make sure the data is exactly the same. The table layouts are identical. Is there any way of assuring the data is identical in both tables without doing a field by field comparison?

Not without a 3rd party tool like Red Gates - SQL Compare.

Thanks

I think you mean SQLDataCompare, SQLCOmpare only checks the structure.

If I run sp_table_validation on each table and compare the checksum values work?
