# Comparison.rows()


Get a sample of rows with a given status.


Usage

``` python
Comparison.rows(
    status,
    limit=100,
)
```


Only up to `limit=` rows are collected, so this is safe to use on very large tables.


## Parameters


`status: Literal[``"changed", `<span class="st">`"missing"``, ``"extra"``, ``"dup_key"``, ``"match"``]`</span>  
The row status to retrieve:

- `"changed"`: the keys, then a `<column>_source` and a `<column>_target` column for each compared column
- `"missing"`: source rows not in the target (source column names)
- `"extra"`: target rows not in the source (target column names)
- `"dup_key"`: duplicated key values with their occurrence counts in each table (`n_source`, `n_target`)
- `"match"`: the keys of matching rows

`limit: int = ``100`  
The maximum number of rows to return.


## Returns


`Any`  
A table of the same type as the (collected) input tables. In positional mode, rows are identified by a 1-based `_row_num_` column.
