Check if all record columns of 2 Tables/Query are equal

Question

In SQL Server 2005, I would like to make one query that checks if all record columns of 2 tables are the same, Example:

declare @tbl1 table(col nvarchar(50))
declare @tbl2 table(col nvarchar(50))

insert into @tbl1
    select '11' union select '22'
insert into @tbl2
    select '22' 
--should return false

---

declare @tbl1 table(col nvarchar(50))
declare @tbl2 table(col nvarchar(50))

insert into @tbl1
    select '11' 
insert into @tbl2
    select '11' union select '22'
--should return false

---

declare @tbl1 table(col nvarchar(50))
declare @tbl2 table(col nvarchar(50))

insert into @tbl1
    select '11' union select '22'
insert into @tbl2
    select '11' union select '22'
--should return true

Using IN clause, or LEFT JOIN i'm only able to check if all record columns in one of the tables are present on the other.

Edit: Order is irrelevant

Answer 1

I think this will work:

SELECT CASE WHEN NOT EXISTS
         ( SELECT * FROM table1
           EXCEPT 
           SELECT * FROM table2
         ) 
             AND NOT EXISTS 
         ( SELECT * FROM table2
           EXCEPT 
           SELECT * FROM table1
         ) 
         THEN 'True' ELSE 'False'
       END AS result ;

Answer 2

The code below will convert all the values of a column to a string which it then hashes. Running this code on both tables and comparing the two hashes will tell you if they are identical or if there is a difference.

SELECT HASHBYTES('MD5', CONVERT(VARCHAR(20), col)) 
FROM @tbl1  FOR XML PATH('')
