SDU Tools: Get SQL Server Database Schema Core Comparison
I often need to do a quick check to see if the schema of two SQL Server databases is the same.
In our free SDU Tools for developers and DBAs, there is a stored procedure called GetDBSchemaCoreComparison to make that easy. It takes the following parameters and returns a rowset that’s easy to consume programmatically (or by just looking at it):
@Database1 sysname -> name of the first database to check @Database2 sysname -> name of the second database to compare @IgnoreColumnID bit -> set to 1 if tables with the same columns but in different order are considered equivalent, otherwise set to 0 @IgnoreFillFactor bit -> set to 1 if index fillfactors are to be ignored, otherwise set to 0
You can see the outcome in the main image above.
