  • RE: Re: Database Comparison

    Well, you could do a join between various system views.

    For example, if you want every proc/function/view that's different, you could do:

    from server1.database1.sys.sql_modules s1

    left outer join server2.database2.sys.sql_modules s2

    ...

  • RE: coalesce negative values

    He's looking for a binary. Otherwise Sign would work. Possible that he can change his requirement, of course.
