Data Compare

I have and use Red Gate software for comparison. However; I'm at a loss on
this data compare scenario:
I have two tables I want to compare, but the PK-ID field is seeded
differenly between the 2 tables. So when I do a comparison - every row is
considered different. I looked at a couple other tools to see if I could
compare and exclude columns - but havent' found any. I remember once seeing
a T-SQL solution - but I cannot find that either.
One thought I had was that this particular table, the PK-ID field is not
used anywhere else - so maybe I could just reseed the one table to match the
other.
Can anyone offer some suggestions?It is hard to understand your narrative without an example. Can you post
your table structures, sample data & expected results? For details refer to:

Anith|||I found the perfect solution just now a SP called sp_compare:

That would sort of defeat the purpose. The PK is supposed to uniquely
identify a row. If there is no way to uniquely identify a row, then how can
any comparison tool compare any row to any other row?

Damn Pesky ' RED X'

How...Why...
Running SQL 2000 SP3 & Win 2000 Adv Srv.
I cannot get rid of the Red X that appears in my replication monitor.
I have run 'sp_MSload_replication_status' to no avail.
HELP!!!
How can I get rid of this?
The X appears on the Replication
Monitor->Publishers->servername->Publication, but there is no problem
with the Snapshot, log Reader or the Distribution Agent.
The X appears on the Replication Monitor->Agents->Distribution Agents
folder, but there is no errors with any of the distribution agents.
My SQL servers get restarted nightly, but the servers are not
restarted. Manually restarting the SQL server do not fix this either.
Any help will be appreciated.

Try restarting the sql server service if all else fails. Usually it results
from an out-of-date error in tempdb (assuming it is not a genuine error .
