Table A Not in Table B

EasySQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Grammarly Editor stores two snapshots of generated writing suggestions for a comparison job. Write a PostgreSQL query to return the complete rows that exist in grammarly_editor_suggestions_a but do not exist identically in grammarly_editor_suggestions_b.

Requirements

  1. Return rows based on complete row equality across all columns.
  2. Include each result column and sort the output by suggestion_id in ascending order.
  3. Preserve SQL NULL semantics correctly when comparing rows.
