    MINUS takes the first result set, and removes any that exist in the second result set; it also removes any duplicates.

    In your example, tableA has 389 rows, and tableB has 217 rows; your INTERSECT shows there are no rows in common, which means tableA MINUS tableB is 389 rows (i.e. all of them).

    tableB MINUS tableA returns the distinct set of rows in tableB, therefore there are 89 distinct values in tableB.
