Database Compare

Need to check a development database against a production database? The Database Compare tool is there to help.

Quickly select a source, destination and objects and the compare is done for you. With the detailed results you can drill down to see what has changed. A synchronization script can be generated to deploy your changes.

Cross database compare is supported as well.

  • Compare complete database or individual objects
  • Support for cross database compare
  • Automatically map data types from one system to another
  • Detailed results for the compare process

Compare Wizard

The Database Compare Wizard lets you choose a source and destination for your compare process.

Next it will allow you to select objects you want to compare. The options help to fine tune the compare process and iron out differences between database systems.

Detailed Results

After the compare process has finished, there's a detailed report for info about each object. You can quickly filter results to show differences in destination, source or both.

Missing or modified columns, different table attributes, dropped stored procedure parameters: all will become clear in this window.

A synchronization script can be created to modify the databases where possible.

Quick Compare

It's possible to quickly compare individual or multiple objects using Quick Compare. Simply use the context menu in the Database Navigator and the Database Compare dialog will be shown.

The same options as per wizard are available, but only objects of the same type are selectable.
