Explore and understand database changes with Redgate SQL Compare

When you pick up a database development project from a colleague – perhaps they're off sick, perhaps they're just passing work on to you – it's hard to know where to start.

Often, you won't even get a list of changes, let alone documentation.

So how do you make sure you don't duplicate work that's already been done, or overwriting important changes?

Redgate SQL Compare can show you exactly what's going on in your database, taking you straight to the areas you should focus on. You can use it to:

  • Highlight differences between database objects, right down to individual lines of SQL
  • Generate scripts to sync changes, including dealing with all dependencies
  • Filter out objects you don't want to change

It's the industry-standard tool for investigating and deploying SQL Server database changes, used by 71% of the Fortune 100, including Walmart, Chevron, and Prudential Financial.

Try it for yourself, and see how simple it can be to spot every change in your database. Download a 14-day free trial of SQL Compare now.
