Compare the value of multiple columns from two different databases

I have two databases ABC and XYZ with the same table structure, but different data.

I want to compare the values of col1, col2, col3, col4 from tbl_123 from both databases, and return an additional column RESULT as 1 if values in both tables are same and 0 it they are not.

col1 is the primary key in both tables, and the other columns are nullable.

SELECT ISNULL(T1.col1, T2.col1) AS col1,
       CASE
         WHEN NOT EXISTS(SELECT T1.col2,
                                T1.col3,
                                T1.col4
                         EXCEPT
                         SELECT T2.col2,
                                T2.col3,
                                T2.col4) THEN 1
         ELSE 0
       END                      AS Result,
       T1.col2,
       T2.col2,
       T1.col3,
       T2.col3,
       T1.col4,
       T2.col4
FROM   XYZ.dbo.tbl_123 T1
       FULL OUTER JOIN ABC.dbo.tbl_123 T2
         ON T1.col1 = T2.col1

Assuming you consider NULL to be the same (whereas SQL Server does not):

SELECT 
  d1.col1, d1.col2, d1.col3, d1.col4,
  d2.col1, d2.col2, d2.col3, d2.col4,
  [RESULT] = CASE 
    WHEN (d1.col2 = d2.col2 OR (d1.col2 IS NULL AND d2.col2 IS NULL))
     AND (d1.col3 = d2.col3 OR (d1.col3 IS NULL AND d2.col3 IS NULL))
     AND (d1.col4 = d2.col4 OR (d1.col4 IS NULL AND d2.col4 IS NULL))
    THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
FROM ABC.dbo.tbl_123 AS d1
FULL OUTER JOIN
XYZ.dbo.tbl_123 AS d2
  ON d1.col1 = d2.col2;
