Manually comparing database schema and data can be a time-consuming, confusing, and error-prone task. Avoid spending hours scrutinizing data and the structure of databases. Moreover, avoid manually generating long and complicated SQL scripts. Instead, use a dedicated tool and automate the process.

Move between different database environments

Migrate between different database versions and editions

Compare problematic databases to normal databases

SQL Comparison Toolset helps you manage schema and data changes for SQL Server and Oracle Database. Unlike its competition, it provides comprehensive comparison and synchronization of schema and data including across database versions, the generation of individual object creation scripts, a quick rerun of comparisons, saving of settings for comparisons, and saving of workspaces and server sets.

Speed up comparisons with robust comparison engine

Compare extensive schemas and data between two databases fast while tightly controlling resource utilization with the comparison engine. The comparison engine is robust, highly efficient, easily configurable, and scalable. Synchronize without any technical limitations in the size of the databases.

Rerun comparisons faster by saving comparison sessions

Maintain a history of comparison sessions consisting of persisted environments with all of the data related to a comparison operation. Repeat a comparison with a single click with these sessions. Control how to sort sessions and the maximum number of persisted sessions with application options.

Avoid manual synchronization errors by generating ready-to-deploy SQL

Generate SQL scripts for synchronization to quickly and easily update the schema of a targeted database. Review the SQL script before executing, save, print, or open it in other tools. Preview the synchronization log for a summary of the changes to be applied to the target database.

Maintain history and audit trails by taking schema snapshots

Save snapshots of schemas to maintain an audit trail of schema changes. Compare snapshots and compare snapshots to live databases. Maintain a history and audit trail of schema changes. Reverse schema changes efficiently and safely. Compare schemas with their snapshots, taken immediately before implementing changes.
