I have two databases - I will call them database A and database B.
I want to run some code on database A, and then check if database A became identical to database B.
How can I compare two databases? I want to compare them in terms of structure, not content.
Any suggestions? Thank you!
Hi,I have a field TestDescription in tableA in DatabaseA. The data in this field is coming from three different fields in three different fields in DatabaseB.Is there a way to write a script to check if the length of this field TestDescription is greater than length of all those three fields in DatabaseB?Thanks

I have two databases - version 1 and version 2
I have the same table in both versions but the number of columns has changed from version 1 to version 2.
I can get the list of columns with:
select colid, name, col_text from _SCHEMA
where table_name like
'tableA' order by colid
How can I use something like this to compare tableA in dbo.1 to tableA in dbo.2 and just return the columns that exist in dbo.2 that aren't in dbo.1?
I thought something like this might do it, but I get major errors in execution:
use dbo.2 select colid, name, col_text from _SCHEMA
where table_name like
'tableA' and
name not in (use dbo.1 select name from _SCHEMA
where table_name like
'tableA')
order by colid

The following thread worked fine and i used this one for copying from one database to another database.
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2494847&SiteID=1
Now one more question i would to confirm based on the above thread.
Suppose i have 2 records in database1.dbo.Department and 6 records in database2.dbo.Department.
I want to copy 2 records in database2.dbo.Department and 6 records in database1.dbo.Department.
It is just like comparing two databases.
Do i need to follow the same thread for copying databases which is above. I mean to say the same query.
How can i write script for comparing databases in terms of both schema and data.

Hi,
I want to compare the production (say prod_db) objects against development database say dev_db.
In Oracle I would run a query using "minus" that is
select table_name from user_tables@prod_db
minus
select table_name from
user_tables@dev_db
what is the equivalent sql in t-sql(or are there any GUI tools to do this).I understand that from prod_db I need to create a link server to the dev_db to run such a query.
Thanks,

A customer has messed up while moving their databases. After working for a week they found that data is missing in the database.I have two backups, one from the old server and one from the new server today, they have been working in the new one for a week.
I need to compare these two databases and then update the new database with all data that is in the old one but not in the new database. Join the data in the two databases so to say. Both databases are from the same application so they use the same users, schema and so on.
Is there a way to compare two databases one being an olddatabase and the second being a new database, I willupdate the old database's objects to match the new database'sobjects?Is there SQL code that could do this easily?How do you do this if you deal with the same scenario?Thank you

View 7 Replies View RelatedIs there an easy way to compare the contents of objects between 2 different databases? For example, say I had 2 databases, My_DB_1 and My_DB_2, each with a SEC_User table. Say I wanted to do an object-to-object comparison between databases to see if there were any differences. Here's some sample SQL:
use My_DB_1
select * from sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities('dbo.sec_user', 'object')
use My_DB_2
select * from sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities('dbo.sec_user', 'object')
Say that the result sets above both returned a SEC_GetUser sproc object ref. Is there a way to write SQL that will compare the SEC_GetUser sprocs (and other objects in the above rowsets) from both databases? For example, if My_DB_1.SEC_GetUser returns an extra column in the result set than My_DB_2.SEC_GetUser then I'd like my comparison SQL to return a single column "IsDifferent" with SEC_GetUser as a row....

Dear Readers,Is it possible, like in Access, to link to tables in other SQL databases that are on the same server? I have a query that I originally had in Access that queered from multiply databases. It did this by having those other tables in the other databases linked to the database that had the query.
I just restored my SQL server 2000 database on the SQL server 2005. after this i ran the Service broker sample ("Hello World") on this database by changing the AdventureWorks name to the new database name. The "setup.sql" runs fine. When i run the "SendMessage.sql" i was not getting any rows in the output (The message was not getting inserted into the queue). I checked the Service broker is enabled on this databased using the query "select is_broker_enabled from sys.databases where name = 'newdbname' " It was 1. I even tried the ALTER DATABASE SET ENABLE_BROKER. but it didnt work.
When i tried the sample on a newly created database it worked fine.
Is there any solution to make the restored database to work for service broker.
Thanks

I remember reading that you can compare the schema of 2 databases to see if there are any diferences. For the life of me, I can not remember where I read it or what it is called. Any help would be great!

Hey all,
If we use operator < <= > >= to compare NON nummeric, then how it is being compared..? what it returns?
eg : .... WHERE someObj1.UniqueX <= someObj2.UniqueX
considering :-
someObj1.UniqueX someObj2.UniqueX
MM1 NN1
MM2 NN2
MM3 NN3

Hi all !
i'm new in sql and new in database.
And my question :
i m trying to compare sql database tables,views,columns,stored procedures.
First i compared tables,columns, but i can't do it with stored Procedure.
Why ? Because stored Procedures are code...
Ex... When i Compare table and columns use these codes.
"if (sourceColumn.IsString)
{
strSize = sourceColumn.Type.ToString()+"(" + sourceColumn.Size + ")";
sqlAddColumn = string.Format(@"ALTER TABLE {0} ADD {1} {2}", target.Name, sourceColumn.Name.ToString(), strSize);
....
This is my StoredProcedure Compare method
public string Compare(StoredProcedure storedTarget)
{
string storedScript = string.Empty;
if (storedTarget.RoutineDefinition != this.RoutineDefinition)
{
// string storedScript = (@"ALTER PROCEDURE ); <--- How can i put new stored procedure ?????? What is sql code for this work ?
}
}
Thank You all sql guru s
