Hi,

I want to create a weekly job which will compare the databases of two different instances of SQL Server 2005.

Thanks,
Rahul

If you're talking about schema and not data, and want something cheap and easy I have something for you:

try running a checksum_agg(binary_checksum(*)) from the sysobjects, sysusers, sysprotects, and sysmembers files.

If you want details skip the checksum_agg() part and you can see the checksum of every object.

compare with the other table maybe using an SSIS job.


Good luck.
