I currently have a sequential file that has 12,669,842 records and an Oracle table with roughly the same number of rows. What is the best way to get non-matched rows from the Oracle table?
I've thought about just creating two hashed files and using my sequential file/hashed file as the reference stream, but there has to be a better way to do this. What about putting the table to a sequential file and just doing a merge, then filter out the non-matches. Any suggestions?

I need the rows that are in the Oracle table and not in the sequential file. A lookup seems to take way too long. Any suggestions on the best way to handle this?WoMaWil wrote:You have two non-matches:

One way is to read the the key of the seq-file completly into oracle and make there two minus.
(1) minus (2) and
(2) minus (1)
