     You need to be more specific in your description. You began with
two databases that you want to check for duplicates. It has now become 
clear that you are working with two tables. And then you mentioned 
fields. What fields exist in these two tables? What determines whether a 
row in the "B" table is a duplicate based upon what is contained in 
table "A"?
     The simple answer to your question: the same way that you would do 
it by hand. The only problem with this answer is that it does not 
include any specifics.
     If you would write down how you would do this by hand step by 
step, then we would know what has to be done step by step, and we could 
suggest how to do each step. You might even see how to do it by yourself.
