Compare Oracle tables with linux md5

Comparison between two table with same name in different schema 
Lets say MEMBERS be the table that need to be compared on schemas SCHEMA_A and SCHEMA_B.

Enabling timing to track down the time taken.

set timing on;

Dropping external table if exists from SCHEMA_A
drop table SCHEMA_A.MEMBERS_EXT_A;

Create external table from first schema, SCHEMA_A in our case  
CREATE TABLE SCHEMA_A.MEMBERS_EXT_A
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
(
TYPE ORACLE_DATAPUMP
DEFAULT DIRECTORY EXT_DIR
ACCESS PARAMETERS
(
nologfile
)
LOCATION ('MEMBERS_EXT_A.csv')
)
AS SELECT * FROM SCHEMA_A.MEMBERS; 



Dropping external table if exists from SCHEMA_B
drop table SCHEMA_B.MEMBERS_EXT_B; 

Create external table from second schema, SCHEMA_B in our case
CREATE TABLE SCHEMA_B.MEMBERS_EXT_B
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
(
TYPE ORACLE_DATAPUMP
DEFAULT DIRECTORY EXT_DIR
ACCESS PARAMETERS
(
nologfile
)
LOCATION ('MEMBERS_EXT_B.csv')
)
AS SELECT * FROM SCHEMA_B.MEMBERS;

Check the MD5 before removing header from each external csv file
time md5sum MEMBERS_EXT_A.csv
time md5sum MEMBERS_EXT_B.csv

Remove header from the external files
time sed -i '1,3d' MEMBERS_EXT_A.csv
time sed -i '1,3d' MEMBERS_EXT_A.csv

Compare md5 with following commands, If both tables contains exactly same data then md5 values will be same.
time md5sum MEMBERS_EXT_A.csv
time md5sum MEMBERS_EXT_B.csv


Here is the execution output

drop table SCHEMA_A.MEMBERS_EXT_A;

table MEMBERS_EXT_A dropped.
