SQL Toolbelt™
User testimonials
"Red Gate's tools are generally considered to be the gold standard. SQL Compare is fast, extremely easy to use – Red Gate pays a huge amount of attention to its UIs – full-featured and affordable. I wouldn't bother messing around with anything else."
"Whenever I show people any Red Gate software it's like they just escaped communist Russia and have a new life to live."
"I was able to see how the Red Gate support team performs when I was under pressure and they did a great job. We have actually decided to implement your product here instead of using TOAD for SQL. Your product is first rate. The SQL Toolbelt provides tools that database developers as well as DBAs should not live without. Excellent product and a great support team."
"I used SQL Compare with a previous employer and loved it so much I brought the experience here. This time, we bought the whole package. Love it!"
"I always recommend your products and indeed the SQL Toolbelt has come in handy in many situations when time was very short. The functionality provided by the SQL Toolbelt is astounding and always helps in meeting the deadline.
For starters it's now very easy for us to track database changes over different versions and upgrades. This has helped a lot in the production environment. And especially when debugging, using SQL Compare and SQL Data Compare to track down differences in the databases makes things a lot simpler.
Let me give you a real-life example. When online production servers are involved and we need to upgrade both the database structure and the latest data, SQL Compare synchronizes the structures in less than a few minutes and we can synchronize live data into the upgraded schemas using SQL Data Compare. The down-time is negligible. We also get to do test-runs using snapshots of the databases in question before we actually commit them to live servers. This gives us the comfort of testing different scenarios and verifying the outcomes in advance of deployment. That's when SQL Packager comes in. All the abovementioned upgrades can be packaged and deployed with the click of a button. We just send the package to any one of our IT team and they just run it. That's it.
We are currently using SQL Packager for all of our new deployments. It was never easier than this, as both the schema and data synchronization is done in a single pass!
The combination of products in the SQL Toolbelt has saved us a lot of time and boosted productivity in all aspects of the product life cycle. Whenever there's a problem it's easily located and fixed promptly. No more long hours spent trying to work out where the problem is.
The SQL Toolbelt is a must for anyone considering serious development and administration on SQL Server."
"The SQL Toolbelt saves us so much time and work that I was afraid my director would decide that we don't need a DBA anymore!
On the contrary these tools have really made it possible to do a lot more than we were doing. I now spend more time being productive rather than trying to chase down some obscure command line argument to do some extremely granular task."
