The EXCEPT statement, first included in Microsoft SQL Server 2005, has become one of the most popular methods for separating records and finding discrepancies between two data sets. It functions on a similar premise to that of minus in mathematics. To be more precise, EXCEPT only returns entries from the left-side SELECT query that are absent from the results of the right-side SELECT query.
We will discuss this statement today from several angles, including its fundamental (and not so simple) syntax, use cases, advanced methodologies, and how to use dbForge Studio for SQL Server, a handy and easy-to-use GUI tool, to implement the EXCEPT clause in practical circumstances.
