Free SQL comparison tool [closed]

Answer 1

I had the same problem and wanted a free GUI base Schema comparer tool, what I found was Star Inix (http://www.starinix.com/sqlcompare02.htm). Obviously not as good as Redgates offering, but it does the job.

Also, with Redgate Sql Compare, once the trial period is over, if you enter the key as "i need more time" (without the quotes) you can extend the trial by a further 14 days.

Answer 2

Visual Studio (Premium & above I guess) has this feature built-in under the SQL menu.

Answer 3

Have a look at Mighty Comparer. It's currently free. A professional version is under development.

Answer 4

xSQL Free Bundle

Very similar to RedGate's SQL Compare and free.

Answer 5

I’ve gone through this and couldn’t find anything comparable, free or otherwise. $395 is a very small price to pay for the value the tool brings and it will almost certainly pay for itself very quickly in productivity gains and risk minimisation.

Answer 6

You can try using TableDiff , that came with SQL Server 2005.
