It's not clear what you're trying to achieve or how the two tables
relate. But isn't this more of a SQL issue? For example if
knowledgebase has a foreign key to hospital, or knowledgebase.ID maps
directly to administration.id, why not create a view which joins the
two tables and load that into a dataset? If you're only interested in
differences, you could filter out matches in the view rather than
bring all the data over. Are there aggregates?

The thing is that i want to compare the records of
administration.numberofdoc with knowlegebase.numberofdocs... knowlege
base has all the facts and actual figures whereas other other tables
dont.. so the records of thosse tables needs to be compared. wud do
that with if staements etc.... I thinkk that could be achieved through
dataset.. will work on it tonight..
