We are converting our project into new version. They have done lot of changes in new version including normalization/denormalization. I need to compare the old and new database. Do you have any standard script or procedure like SQL Compare software?. Let me know what are the possibilties we need to check. Your help appreciated. Thanks, Ravi
In management studio, is there a way to compare databases side by side? Or would anyone know of any freeware out there that would do such a task? :beer:

I am currently in the process of making changes to an application usinga SQL Server database and have made changes to a development copy of thelive database which includes changing and adding columns to tables andupdating stored procedures.I was wondering if anyone knew of any free software that could produceat least a list of the changes between the databases and possibly ascript to allow for easy updating of the live database.*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
Hello all. I am using Sql Compact Edition for a small standalone application, I create and build the initial database schema on initial startup. What I am looking for is a way to upgrade the software and on initial startup of the new version, I would like it to compare the existing database with a new schema and then update the database based on the difference. This way I can have a version that will update the database without me having to know what version it is to begin with. Is there a way to do this or am I asking too much?
Does anyone know of a good (free) tool that will compare the structure of two databases. Something that will compare Stored Procedures and Views would be great.Thanks.
Hi, I'm looking for a tool to compare 2 sql server database and makes a script of the differences (like an added table or record). We want to use it to generate a script which we can send to our customers to update their database if a change has been made. Example: We send our customers database A. After half a a year they request some changes to be made to the application that affects the database, say a table has to be added. We want the tool to automatically detect the difference between database A when it was first released and after the changes has been made and generate a script. Anyone suggestions? T.I.A., ratjetoes.

Is there a way to compare two similar tables? I'm more interested in finding out if the data content is exactly the same or not between the two tables.
Assuming a table with a column defined char or varchar. I have a SQL query like this :
Select * from table1 where column1='Building'
It returns the same result that
Select * from table1 where column1='BUILDING'
It is my understanding SQL Server (verison 7 or 2000, I tried on both) is lower/capital insensitive by default when it is installed. If I want SQL Server to be case-sensitive with my char or varchar columns, where can I set it?
Is it at database level or server level I can find this setting . What is the setting that control it?

Morning! Folks, i want some links where i could find healthy stuff regarding New Features and Compliance levels, performance comparisons, TPC tests etc about SQL 2000 and Yukon specially. I've to submit a document regarding Top database features that shall be used for a Medical-Billing Software in plan.
I have two tables that I am needing to link by the tables date field. In one table the date field is defined as varchar(23). The time for this field is always zeros. Example: '2005-12-27 00:00:00.000'
The other table is defined as datetime, and it does have the date and time in this field. Example: 2005-12-27 08:00:35.000
The problem i am having is 2005-12-27 00:00:00.000 does not = 2005-12-27 08:00:35.000.
Because I will never have more than one record on the same date I would like to be able to only compare the date. Example 2005-12-27 = 2005-12-27
Since the fields are 2 different field types, this is giving me a problem. Could someone please help. I have tried everything I know to do.
What I really need is the a way to format the datetime fields date into a string such as '2005-12-27'.
I am doing this 2 queries, they get data from the same tables in a very different way. The new way is a lot faster but of course there are problems. There are some discrepancies in the results. Both queries produce results with more than 200.000 rows. Second one has ca. 100 rows less than the first one and some of the results are wrong (most are correct though).
My question is how do I find the differences. I did the left outer join when column a.result != b.result (lines are defined by date and ID so they should be unique).but the join gives me problematic results (some are not different at all, some differences are not in the result).so how do I find the differences between 2 queries, including missing results/rows?
I have an Employee table with 3000 records and an Excel file having themodified data of those emplyoees. Some of the data of Excel may be sameas that of table data but some may differ. EmpId is the unique field.Other than this field, other fields of Excel may have modified data.Ineed to compare the data from SQL Server table with Excel Data.I decided to write a VB Program having two recordsets,one for SQLServer and other for Excel and compare each field's value. If themodified value is found then update that to table. Is there any way tocompare in SQL Server itself?Madhivanan
I'm in need of a sql query that I'm not sure is possible. Here is anexample of how it's laid out.employee ID Job class Last Change Date12345 x 2/1/200412345 y 1/15/200412345 z 1/1/2004We know that this person is in job class 'x' because it's the mostrecent change. Is there a way to write a query that will exclude thelines 'y' and 'z' because they are currently incorrect?I would appreciate any help I could get. Thanks
As many of you know I've been hunting down a SQL CE alternative / embedded DB that is easily portable among handhelds.
It turns out, that without paying for some other DB, there really aren't any good ones... Unless you go GPL, and the interpretation of GPL that most are using is that your code too is GPL even though you may only Dynamically Link to their app. I think this is likely wrong, but none the less I'm back here yet again.
What I'm looking for this time is a definition of how SQL Server CE is implemented, how it differs from a full blown DB, etc, so I can more thourally explain "why SQL CE" is an embedded DB, and how it isn't the full blown SQL Server that has a bad reputation with some.
My guess is:
SQL Server CE is implemented via DLL. There aren't sockets etc to allow you to connect, and it operates more like an advanced hash on the file system.
Please correct me if i'm wrong, or... send me a link where I can further research. Also, if you have another embedded DB as a suggestion, that's free of course, please point it my way.
I'm trying to do a comparison of 2 data sets. Basically what I want is: 'where event date from event number -24 is earlier than the event date for event number -13'
To get the eventdate for the eventno's, I have the following 2 queries:
select eventdate from caseevent, cases where eventno = -24
select eventdate from caseevent, cases where eventno = -13
So what i'm trying to say is: I want it so that the value of the first query is compared to be LESS than the value of the second query...
Hi, I have table with four fields ID, Date1, Date2,Date3,Date4. Dates are in numeric farmat like 20070927. How can i get largest date (from date1 to date4) on each row. Please suggest query. Thanks
Not sure if possible but I need to produce a monthly TOP 10 Ticket Category report which I retrieve with:
SELECT TOP (10) Category, COUNT(Category) AS Count FROM table WHERE (DATEDIFF(mm, open_date, GETDATE()) = 1) GROUP BY Category ORDER BY Count DESC
Now I need to know how many tickets there were for those same categories in the previous month so I want my result set to look somewhere along the lines of: Catagory - Count Month - Count Previous Month
