I've done that too. I need to search the cobwebs of my
memory a bit, but I recall having use MINUS both ways to be
sure:
results MINUS expected_results
tells you whether the real results included any rows
that are unexpected
expected_results MINUS results
tells you whether results omitted any expected rows
I seem to recall once having to use GROUP BY and COUNT to
ensure that the *right quantity* of each row was in the
result set.
