Editor's review
This is a tool for comparing two databases in SQL Server.
SQL Server Comparison Expert is a SQL database comparison tool. It works such that you can compare schemes of two databases to determine if they are copies of the same database. Then you can get down to details, to compare if these two database contents are exactly same. The comparison data then can drive synchronization of the two, recovery of one from a corrupted state and made exactly identical. The tool can work with MS EQL Server versions 2008, 2005 as well as the 2000 release. The reports produced by the tool will let you pin down differences quickly. It supports thirty MS SQL Server database object types such as Tables, Views, Synonyms, Stored Procedures, Functions, Triggers, Rules, Defaults, User-defined Data Types, Message Types, Contracts, Queues, Services, Full Text Catalogs, Partition Functions, Users, Roles, Schemes, Permissions, etc.
The commands are organized in tabs and they are something like structure, data, tools, view and help. Help tab is obvious. The view group lets you select a skin and the language for the interface. Tools available include trigger tool, foreign key tool and an export tool. The trigger tool will let you open a trigger, foreign key tool opens a foreign key and export tool lets you export schema and data. Click on the "new" button opens a new connection form, "open" opens an existing project, "connection" opens the last connection form, "compare" does the compare of schemes, "sync" does synchronization of the structures, "layout" changes the layout of the results and "exit" takes you out of the software. The data controls let you do similar things (as with structure) with the data. A handy tool for data base synchronization.
