The present invention is an improvement upon an object oriented database management system and provides a method and apparatus for a user to visually compare attribute values of instances retrieved in a search in a way that highlights attribute values that do not match or are not equal. The present invention provides a method and apparatus for determining which of the attributes are not equal or do not match, and which attribute values are the same for all of the instances that are retrieved by a search. A method and apparatus is provided for visually indicating such determinations in a way that is immediately understandable by a user.
