"Amazing, and it's free!"

Pros

Compares tables, sp's, indexes, triggers, views, users...

Cons

Doesn't do data comparison beyond record count; no facility to align; misses 2005/8 specific attributes in comparison and creation.

Summary

This utility does most of what you need, but it's free. Differences are highlighted in sql, missing objects are scripted. You have to do the hard work to align the schemas, but hey - it's free! Did I mention it's free?

Successfully compared Tables, indexes, triggers, record counts, SPs, Users and Views, and highlighted the exact differences between my local copy and a production db - very impressive for a freeware product.

Cons

None.

Summary

I even test this with a huge database, it works fine. But the time factor is the only concern. Other than that, it goes well....

"Good little utility!"

July 01, 2002 / Version: SQL Server Compare 1.0

Summary

This is a very good freeware app. Of course I wish it had more features such as the ability to compare two objects in two different databases without having to search the whole database. I give a lot of credit to the author as he has done me a great favor and given this app a wonderful start! I look forward to version 2.0
