Database compare utility

  • I am looking for database schema compare utility for sql server. QUEST had a tool called schema manager but it's not available for sql server anymore. any suggestions ?

    thank you

  • Red-Gate has one that is pretty nice and reasonably priced - SQLCompare. I've got a review of it posted at:

  • Hi

    SQL Compare byt redgate software is a very good and cheap tool. The only real problem I have with it is that it cant be used to generically compare say two different script files you have that were not generated from sql*compare. So its not that "generic" as such. Even so, its damn cheap and I liked the ability to save away previous comparisons. The front-end is nice and very well designed.

    Cheers

  • We're required to load all of our scripts into Visual SourceSafe. It does have compare functions, even between versions. Most Change Control software worth their salt have this functionality.
