Compare databases structure

  • Comments posted to this topic are about the item Compare databases structure

  • I just tried it and it worked great. I used it on two databases where I had made changes (to the test version of the DB) to one. I was very impressed. I have a similar situation with two databases that exist on different servers. Is there a way to use this script to compare two databases with the same name on different servers? Again...nice job!

  • I am afraid that there may be a lot of bugs in the procedure to fix up due to the script complication and I was already told that the way the results are returned is not clear and intuitive but anyway thank You very much for kind words 🙂

    I think it would be possible to prepare similar script to compare databases on two different servers:

    - one way: via linked servers, the script would have to accept linked server beside database name and modify all queries to use them but I haven't tested this solution yet so I do not know if it can work

    - second way: to incorporate OPENROWSET clause in all queries and give extra parameters to the procedure so that You can provide a connection string and provider name

    - another way: I have no idea what it would be like but I am sure there exists any

    I will try to prepare such script as soon as I can.

  • Although the results screen is basic, it is easy to determine the change to schemas in a test versus production settings, for example. It does not have to be intuitive for a DBA to understand it. It does produce a lot of "temp" stuff that may be different between the databases. I noticed a lot of "$" objects showing up. But....

    This helped me to see that the vendor application package I am using creates a ton of triggers based on table relationships to keep data in sync. Since I have not keyed in that data in production, the triggers do not exist. So your procedure helped me understand how the vendor DB is opewrating under the hood. An added benefit!

  • I thought this code was great. Thank you for sharing. I made one modification, for each query I added a new column, TYPE, so I would know (without thinking about it) what differences I was looking at.

    For example, for the table differences I added after the select

    ''table'' as TYPE,

    for the indexes I added

    ''indexes'' as TYPE

    etc.

    This is not necessary but makes it quick for me to glance at the data and see where the difference are occurring.

  • I am not an SQL expert. There are a lot of select statements and it is a complex script. Can you share the changes you made with the table/type in full context?

  • I love it! I just tried it and it is a BIG starting point for what I need.

    Thank you !!!

  • Sorry for the delay. I had to take out some company-specific code I had added. Here are the small changes I made. I didn't make the changes to the partition code (the last 2 queries) just because I am not using it but it should be simple enough for you to add.

    Thanks again!

  • SUPER!!!!! This is a great asset to me. I will be using it a lot to verify I have made changes to my production database that match my development database. Thank you.

  • Hi Its indeed a great procedure.even i used it but found some bug in it,like on the procedure,view and function part.

    Even after making all the changes in database as suggested by this query, again when i run it it still shows me the difference.

    I will tell u on what i did exactly.

    1) I ran the query.it suggested me changes in my proc.which was correct and hence altered and created procedures accordingly.

    2) Now when i run the query again its still suggests me changes.

    It will be grateful if you could help.Relying heavily on this. Undoubtedly great work done. writing this query.

    Thanks

  • If you are looking for very cheap tool with a bit more flexibility to compare database structure as well as data in different tables then you could try SQLC[/url]
