By: Last Updated: 2018-05-05 Related Tips: Problem There is often the need to compare both data and database structures from two databases either on the same server or on different servers. Most text editors have a built-in process to allow you to do a diff and identify any differences between the two files, but comparing data is not quite that easy. Using this diff process is great if you only want to compare a few files, but what if you need to scan your entire database to look for differences? As with anything you can always create your own application to automate the comparison process. You could cursor through all of the tables read the T-SQL from one server, get the T-SQL for the same object from the other server and do a comparison. To compare the data you can write scripts that read row by row and do a comparison of the data. But why bother when there are so many products out there already.

Solution Luckily a lot of products already exist. These products allow you to compare database objects, data, DTS scripts, servers, etc. In addition, these products are not all that expensive either. Some of the products are under $100 US and I also found a company that offers a free version, see below. Post a comment or let the author know this tip helped.

Monday, September 12, 2016 - 3:48:19 AM - Phil Grayson Hi, we have a free tool for comparing two database instances of SQL Server including users, plan guides, trace flag, cores, memory, agent jobs etc. Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - 5:03:02 PM - Greg Robidoux @Binu - have you talked to ApexSQL to see if they have a solution to automate what you are doing with their tool? Thursday, August 15, 2013 - 12:31:52 PM - Binu Hi, I have got a new task for migrating SQL objects from VSS to TFS.

Some objects are there in both VSS and TFS. Have to compare the objects in both VSS and TFS and find out the differences.

Could you please suggest a way for doing this. For now, we are scripting out objects from VFS and with the help of APEXDiff tool we are manually comparing every single object with object in TFS.How to automate this? Thanks in advance.Binu Wednesday, May 22, 2013 - 8:50:27 AM - SergeiK Sorry for the mistake in URL.

Devart's SQL Schema Compare is available here: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 - 8:42:27 AM - SergeiK I wonder why Devart's products are not mentioned here. I'm sure they must be observed here. Try dbForge Data and Schema Compare tools – the most professional sql comparison tools I've ever used!
