It depends on what values you have and what you want to compare.

plot(x,y) 

boxplot(x, y)

There are plenty other options in R.

Hi Petr,
"barp" will compare the two columns displaying the values as heights
of
bars.

"stackpoly" will display superimposed polygons, the upper edges of
which
represent the data values in each column.

"twoord.plot" will dislay two data vectors as point/line plots even if
they have different ranges.

All are in the plotrix package.

When it comes to these, I prefer plot(y~x, data=dataset), since it  
picks up the correct graph depending on what types the variables have.
