Hello, I have a database that has several tables, such as Company Name, Address, Region, Employees. I also have a table that contains similar sort of information as in the first database, but this table has not been properly structured and just contains a a record for each and every employee. It's a flat text file. Now my question is there a way to compare the Company Name table, against the Company Name field in the second table? If there is,can you please provide me with basic examples so that I can understand the principles, on how to do this?
