Comparing source and target objects in a SQL database.

dbForge Schema Compare for SQL Server lets you quickly and safely perform schema comparison and synchronization along with easy analysis of database structure differences. The product is specially designed to help you quickly analyze database structure differences at a glance and propagate the changes to a required SQL Server, escaping tedious manual work.

Updates in V2.0

• Support of native SQL Server backups
  Users can use native SQL Server backups as a metadata source and compare them. It adds a new way to compare and update database structures without manual work.
• Database comparison and synchronization via command line
  This is especially useful for users, who do repeated schema comparison and synchronization. It is enough to set a comparison once and the tool will prepare a file with required command line arguments - Source and Target connection strings, comparison options and settings. Users can schedule the launch time for the processes specified in the file and escape any waiting.
• Tracking database changes using version control systems
  This prevents several developers from changing database objects simultaneously. Now it is easy to revert to earlier revisions and quickly identify who and when changed the objects. Comparison takes less time as schema snapshots are compared. dbForge Schema Compare uses two most popular version control systems - SVN and TFS.
• Generating comparison and synchronization reports
  Now publishing differences between databases is automated and offered as clear and professionally looking reports.
