It depends what you mean by databases and compare.

OpenBabel can find duplicate molecules (i.e. with the same structure) in 
its input files, which can be of different formats.

See 
http://openbabel.org/docs/current/Command-line_tools/babel.html#remove-duplicate-molecules

So:
obabel dataset1.xxx dataset2.yyy -O uniquemols.zzz --unique

would report duplicate structures and put the non-duplicated ones in 
uniquemols.zzz (.xxx, .yyy and .zzz are any multi-molecule fileformats).

Or what other type of comparison do you need?
