Red gate data compare

Can i automate data comparison between the two tables using red gate data compare 13? If so could you please assist how to automate it Thanks Alex for the quick response. I would like to compare few tables from two different databases (Pord and Test) using red gate data compare 13. And same I would like to automate using the batch file. Thanks alex for looking in to this.As mentioned in my last post I wanted to compare tables from two different DB servers.Hence I used below syntax in my batch file (.bat) but it didn't work out.C:Cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Red Gate\SQL Compare 13sqldatacompare /server1:UATServerName /database1:DatabaseName/server2:TestServerName /database2:DatabaseName/Include: table:[Product] / Verbose/Export: "D:\Results"Also I tried to automate using the already saved project file using below syntax:sqldatacompare /project:"C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\Project.sdc"/Out: "D:\Results\log.txt"But in both the examples it didn't work. Could you please confirm if i am missing anything on the above syntax. Hi Alex,I have created one project and tried to automate the comparison using below syntax in batch file as suggested by u:sqldatacompare /project:"C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\Project.sdc" >> "D:\Results\log.txt"However the out file generated from above action in the "Results" folder is not giving any conclusive comparison details. It shows only minimal details.Attached is the log file generated for your reference. Could you please assist me on the same if i have missed on anything.Thanks,Nagaraj S Am I reading it correctly, it literally only says:SQL Data Compare Command Line for DLM Automation V13.8.0.12547==============================================================================Copyright Copyright c Red Gate Software Ltd 2019DLM Automation: in trial, expires 2019/09/26 05:17:58 +05:30Automation License: in

Is displayed for you to enter a name for the snapshot. SQL Compare snapshots are saved with the extension .snp Using snapshots in comparison projects To use a snapshot in a comparison project: On the Project Configuration dialog box, click the Data Sources tab, if it is not already displayed. In the Data source type box, select Snapshot. Type or select the path for the snapshot in the box, or click Browse to choose the snapshot. Information about the snapshot is displayed under Snapshot Details. Proceed with the comparison in the usual way. Compatibility with previous versions of SQL Compare Snapshots created using SQL Compare version 3 or version 4 can be used in this version of SQL Compare. However, if the Add WITH ENCRYPTION option was selected when you created a snapshot using SQL Compare version 3, the comparison or synchronization may fail when you use the snapshot in this version of SQL Compare. © Red Gate Software Ltd 2006.

The above errors. " -ForegroundColor Red; }}Catch { $ErrorMessage = $_; Write-Output $ErrorMessage; exit 1;}One problem I had to solve was: The SQL Data Compare installation folder contains the version number at the end: C:\Program Files (x86)\Red Gate\SQL Data Compare 13. This makes it hard to find the SQLDataCompare.exe because I can’t guarantee which version is installed.That’s what the function Get-InstallPath solves: it looks at the Windows Registry and tries to find the installation path for SQL Data Compare. Note that I used -like "*$ProgramName*" to solve the version problem on the installation folder. I gladly copied and slightly adapted the code from June Blender’s Blog post: How to find an installation directoryThe rest is pretty straightforward. It calls the function and checks if SQL Data Compare is installed on the machine. Then it validates if the .xml file provided exists. Finally at line 83 it invokes SQLDataCompare.exe passing the path to the .xml file.And that’s it! You have an updated database again :)Note 1: This was the solution that was the fastest to build and that brought immediate value to us. It might not be the most perfect one though. In the end, we had to choose the approach that would bring the most value with minimal efforts. Also, I’m a PowerShell noob so please, if you find something that can be improved let me know in the comments!Note 2: This post is basically about Redgate SQL Data Compare but this is not a promoted post nor I’m benefiting from it. We already use their products in our office and this was just a way of sharing our use case.Hope this was helpful.

You can use SQL Source Control and SQL Compare to deploy a database from source control to a server.You can also use the SQL Server Management Studio Integration Pack add-in to make schema and data deployment simpler.Deploying with SQL Server Management Studio Integration PackTo deploy a database schema, in the Object Explorer, right-click a database, select Schema Compare/Deploy, and click Set as Source.The SQL Server Management Studio Integration Pack Schema Compare/Deploy tab is displayed:You can deploy the current database version or specify a version from source control.You can deploy to a target database, create a new database, or create a change script to update a target source control version.For more information, see Getting started with the SQL Compare add-in.Deploying without SQL Server Management Studio Integration PackTo deploy a database:Create a local copy of the scripts folderMigrate the local copy to the target server using SQL CompareOptionally, you can also deploy any relevant static data using SQL Data Compare.In this example the database WidgetDev is already in source control.The example uses the SQL Compare and Subversion command line interfaces.You can also deploy the database using the SQL Compare graphical user interface and a source control client like TortoiseSVN.1. Create a local copy of the databaseAt a command prompt, type:cd C:\program files\subversion\binsvn update "C:\WidgetDevScripts"Where: is the URL for the database in your Subversion repository"C:\WidgetDevScripts" is the file path for the directory where the local copy will be createdA local copy of the scripts folder is created. This is a Subversion working copy, and is associated with the Subversion repository.2. Migrate the local copy to the target serverAt a command prompt, type:cd C:\program files\red gate\SQL Compare 8 /sqlcompare /scr1:"C:\WidgetDevScripts" /S2:WidgetServer /U2: /P2: /db2:"WidgetTest" /syncWhere:/scr1:"C:\WidgetDevScripts" specifies the local copy, WidgetDevScripts, as the source for a SQL Compare deployment/S2:WidgetServer /U2: /P2: specify the server, user name, and password you are using/db2:WidgetTest specifies WidgetTest as the target of a SQL Compare deployment/sync performs the SQL Compare deployment, making the schema of WidgetTest the same as the schema in WidgetDevScriptsThe database is updated. Its schema is now the same as the version you checked out of source control.For more information, see Simple examples using the command line.
