Favorite Sql Server Db Compare/diff Tools
Dec 15, 2003guys...do you have any recommendations for a tool that compares specific MS sql databases including data comparisons?
I typically develop locally, then deploy remotely.
it's getting to be quite a pain to not only remember which schema objects to update on the remote host, but the data elements that need to be keyed in as well.
are there any shareware tools out there you'd recommend? (I don't have a great budget as this is coming out of MY pocket and not my companies.)
THanks!

when I'm in MediaImportLog , I want use column ImportSource to compare with column ChainCode in table BillerChain ( so I get BillerInfoCode) and then use the BillerInfoCode I got to compare with column BillerCode in Table Bill ( I get CompanyCode) finally I use CompanyCode to compare with column CompanyCode in table DataBackup so I can get the company's keepmonth
How can I get the keepmonth? can I use parameters ?
thank you very much
SQL 7.0 And SQL 6.5 Differences
Nov 22, 1998I am curious to what major differences there are between these two versions.
Trying to decide whether or not to purchase the SQL 6.5 training kit from Microsoft or not. If the code and utilities are the same, then I could probably still learn from the 6.5 version. Any thoughts, suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

SQL CE 3.01 And 3.5 Differences
Feb 13, 2008Hi,
I am having the following problem AFTER converting to VS2008 from VS2005 and SQLCE 3.5 from 3.01:
SQL CE db file has a table called Court0 with various columns of type float. I populate the values by copying floats from another table/tables. I do this via ado.net using this code snippet:
foreach (DataColumn column in this.mycourtsDataSet1.Tables[tableName].Columns)
{
string columnName = column.ColumnName.ToString();
string columnValue = aRow[0][columnName].ToString();
object cValue = aRow[0][columnName];
if (columnName.Remove(1) == "T" && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(columnValue))
{
// Add the value to the Court0 table.
DataRow[] bRow = this.mycourtsDataSet1.Tables["Court0"].Select("BookingPeriod = '" + columnName + "'");
if (bRow.Length > 0)
{
double colValue = Convert.ToDouble(cValue);
//bRow[0][tableName] = Convert.ToInt32(columnValue);
========> bRow[0][tableName] = colValue; <==== colValue is '1055.01'
}
}
}
}
This works fine in VS2005/CE3.01 BUT not in VS2008/CE3.5
In CE3.5, the value entered into the cell looses it's decimal value.
For example, '1055.01' becomes '1055.0' in CE3.5 .
Can someone explain to me why the conversion stuffs up in CE3.5 and what do I do to fix it.
Thanks,
Inner Join Differences
Jul 4, 2006Table struct (table1 and table2):
areacode
phonenumber
phonenumber2 (combined areacode + phonenumber) (actual column)
------------------------------------------------------------
select x.areacode, x.phonenumber from table1 as x
inner table2 as y
on x.AreaCode = y.AreaCode and x.phonenumber = y.phonenumber
result: 0
select x.areacode, x.phonenumber from table1 as x
inner join table2 as y
on x.phonenumber2 = y.phonenumber2
result: 100
select (x.areacode + x.phonenumber) as phone from table1 as x
inner join table2 as y
on (x.areacode + x.phonenumber) = (y.areacode + y.phonenumber)
result: 0
WHat's the difference between those queries? Why can't I get a result from the 1st and 3rd query?
Database Differences
Feb 5, 2004We have a database that when an update is released (and this is very often) the release notes don't cover most of the actual changes. Every time groups of our custom queries and reports get broken due to database changes. Does anyone know how to compare two databases and get a report of the differences between them? I can either have the two versions on the same server or on different servers if that makes a difference.
I'm hoping for something where you input @oldversion, @newversion
and return is
@oldversion, tblname, fieldname, char(8)
@newversion, tblname, fieldname, varchar(8)
@oldversion, tblname, [Null], [Null]
@newversion, tblname, fieldname, int
@oldversion, [Null]
@newversion, tblname
also any changes in dependancies
Thanks

Rounding Differences
Feb 20, 2004I have just converted some Access VBA code to a sproc. I'm finding that for some reason the rounding is different:
eg.
ROUND(17 * 97995 / 1000,2) = 1665.915 before Rounding
SQL SProc: 1665.91 Rounds down
ADP VBA: 1665.92 Rounds up
Does this make sense?

Diff. Backup
Oct 24, 2000Can i restore a diff. backup alone without a complete backup?
(what i am trying is this.....there are two different servers at two diff. places....i need to have both servers in sync. at all times.modifications will take place in one server and the modifications have to be reflected in the other server.i could not go for replication as the servers cannot be connected.sending complete backups daily will be a overhead .hence planning to take complete backup once and send diff. backups alone on subsequent days to the other server.
how can i achieve this?)
Diff Backup Help
Mar 22, 2006Dear all
I am new to the MS SQL, my problem is as follows.
I am having a online database on sql 2k.
every 15 days we have to give payout from our system, so we
have a offline server in our office, we take the complete backup of that day & restore the same on the offline server,
& start the payout process.
The problem is that the full backup is a big file & take a lot of time for downloading from online server.
is it possible that we take on diff. backup of that day & will restore the same on the offline server so the file will take less time to download.
but my offline backup is 15 days old, will that update all the records or not?
regards
Abhijit

Diff Between SQL 2005 RTM & SP2

Database Diff?
Jun 6, 2007Are there any tools/utilties that can diff 2 sql server databases. I know the DB Pro Edition of VSTS can do it, but its hard to justify a jump from my $800 copy of VS2005 Pro to a $5k-6k version of VS just to get database diff. The tablediff looks promising but I need it to do SPROCS and SFUNCS too. Any helps or recommendations would be appreciated.

View 4 Replies View RelatedQuery Run Time Differences
Mar 14, 2002I have a server with two test instances of a data base. I have a query which creates a temp table, inserts 29 rows, perform 4 update queries to add counts and then dumpps out the results. This entire query script runs 1.33 minutes on one instance and 2.5 minutes on the other. On the production server this query now runs in 9 seconds. If I run any one of the test updates individually they execute under 2 seconds, just like the production server.
THe results are repeatable.
All are SQL 7 with all service packs on NT4 sp6. Both test data bases are backups of production from last week. I suspect some kind of caching/buffer problem, but I do not know what to look for. I am not a DBA so I have no idea what role TEMPDB plays may play in this.
Can anyone give us ideas on where to look for the performance difference? Will our impending upgrade to SQL2K solve this problem or make it worse? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Performance Differences Between Queries...
Sep 13, 2004I am updating a db with data from a file, in this data we have new info, info that has been updated and info that is to be removed from the db.
Now I was wondering which approach results in better performance/shorter executin time:
1. first update excisting values, then insert new ones, and last delete cancelled data
or
2. delete cancelled data and data that will be updated, then insert new and updated info
I get all this data from a file, in that file all rows are similar and there is one column that defines if the data is new, updated or to be deleted (thus all the updates also include the information for the enty that has not been altered).

Differences Between 6.5 And 2000 Inserts
Oct 18, 2005Hi Guru's,
I am kind of baffeled. I have a table with a column of 8 varchar in 2000
and the same in 6.5. When I insert into 2000 with a data length of more than 8 chars via Cold Fusion into the table, it fails. The same Cold Fusion
program inserts into the 6.5 table, but truncates the data but does not fail.
Does anyone know why this happens. Thanks, Newbie.

Calculate Differences Between Records?
Feb 9, 2015I would like to calculate the date difference between two records:
IDStartEnd
12/9/15 13:28:412/9/15 13:28:46
22/9/15 13:29:032/9/15 13:29:12

42/9/15 13:29:272/9/15 13:29:31
So I need to find the difference between two consecutive records and put the result in a new column called Downtime. For example:
Record 2 Start (2/9/15 13:29:03) - Record 1 End (2/9/15 13:28:46) = 0:00:17
Record 3 Start (2/9/15 13:29:17) - Record 2 End (2/9/15 13:29:12) = 0:00:05
Record 4 Start (2/9/15 13:29:27) - Record 3 End (2/9/15 13:29:21) = 0:00:06
and so on…
Also what do I do about the 1st record since there is no previous record to subtract from?
So far I have this code in my query to generate my table: SELECT Start, End FROM group_table3
My desired output should look like this:
IDStartEndDowntime
12/9/15 13:28:412/9/15 13:28:46#VALUE!

Find All Differences Between 2 Tables
Mar 5, 2015I have this 2 tables:
Table1: Table2:
ID Value ID Value
--------- ---------
1 2 2 1
2 1 3 4
4 3 4 4I
need to find all differences between the 2 Tables.
A mismatch can be:
- Table1.ID exists, Table2.ID does not exist
- Table2.ID exists, Table1.ID does not exist
- Table1.ID = Table2.ID and Table1.Value <> Table2.Value
So I want to be returned:
ID Value ID Value
--------------------
1 2 NULL NULL
4 3 4 4
NULL NULL 3 4
There must be something simpler than the solution I came up with which is:select * from Table1 a full outer join Table2 b on a.Id = b.Id
WHERE a.value <> b.value or (a.value IS NULL and b.value IS NOT NULL) or (a.value IS NOT NULL and b.value IS NULL)Martin
Identifying Differences Between Two Records
Feb 8, 2007I am trying to test some data handling between two different versions of an application.
I have restored the database schema twice, once as DB_old and once as DB_new.
I import a transaction using the new application into DB_new and I import the SAME transaction into the DB_old using the old version of application.
I then have to eyeball the data in SQL Query Analyzer to try to identify problems where the fields have received different values.
I have done this by running a select statement twice telling it to use both of the databases and then viewing it in two grids. There are a lot of columns so I have to do a lot of scrolling across the screen to do the comparison, and since the view is in two separate grids I have to hop back and forth and click the scroll bars, etc.
It seems like there has to be a better way. I don't suppose there is a way to lock the two grids so they both scroll together is there?
I was thinking maybe I could insert each of the selects into a temporary table and then do some kind of comparison to identify which values were different in each column. Some of the columns will have differences, like the timestamp, but if I could somehow identify which columns were different then I could eyeball them to identify which of those were okay to be different and which of them were actually bugs from the changed application version.
I have no idea how to identify those individual columns with different data values or even where to start.
Just so you understand better what I am doing now here is the query I am running that I then eyeball:
use DB_new
select * from claim where claim_id = 35144
use DB_old
select * from claim where claim_id = 35144
Thanks for any ideas.
Database Size Differences
Oct 26, 2007Dear Experts,
i've taken a backup from one database(which is running on sql server 2000) 'X' and restored it in another database(sqlserver 2005) as 'X' with the same name.
when i'm taking the backup, the size of the database is 59.63 MB (test database)
after restoring the same in my local machine, on sql server 2005, it became 158.25 MB.
why is this much of difference.....
any architectural difference...?
