Simplifying database development

The situation

You develop SQL Server databases, and know how difficult it can be to push changes out from a development environment to a test, staging or production database with any level of confidence that the databases are the same at the end of the day.

Key challenges

  • Automate the unavoidable and tedious aspects of database development.
  • Eliminate errors when migrating schemas to your live database.
  • Free up time for developers to spend on improving the deliverables.

How we can solve it

  1. Ensure that automated database comparison/synchronization is built into the development envelope from the beginning. Less paper means more time.
  2. Use SQL Packager for compressing completed database schemas and contents for faster deployment to staging and production platforms.
  3. Remove need to keep rescheduling and running compare and update procedures to live databases. Use SQL Toolkit to program automation scripts to the SQL Compare and SQL Data Compare APIs.

To learn more, take a look at our worked examples for SQL Compare, SQL Data Compare and SQL Packager.

Benefits of our solution

  • Massive savings on time usually wasted at the end of the development cycle – up to 95%.
  • Clear bottom-line benefits mean purchase orders write themselves.
