UltraDBC general info

UltraDBC is command line program, that compares data in Microsoft SQL Server tables located in different databases/servers. It provides many command line switches for better program control.

I created this tool when I wasted two days trying to find freeware database data compare tool. There are great freeware tools, that compare database schema like Open DBDiff(http://opendbiff.codeplex.com/) and DBComparer (http://dbcomparer.com/). But there isn't any that would simply compare Microsoft SQL table data.

Features

  • Multi threaded program - uses all available CPU cores for comparing and uses two cores for data reading.
  • Supports Microsoft SQL Servers starting from version 7.0.
  • Simultaneous data reading from databases.
  • Save SQL script to file and/or display to console. Script later can be executed with SQLCMD, OSQL or opened in any SQL Server administrator software (like Enterprise Manager).
  • Limit update commands produced: Delete, Insert, Update can separately be excluded from result script.
  • Choose between Windows Integrated and SQL server authentication modes.
  • Control program entirely with command line switches, and use it in batch processing.
  • Ability to limit comparing to subset of rows specified in where clause.

For complete software manual visit [Software manual].

Wishlist (Planned features)

  • Multiple table comparison
  • Compare table column specifications before actual row compare;
  • Support settings file in addition to command line;
  • Support for MySql.
  • Add transaction support option in generated script.

For detailed planned features list, please visit [Planned feature list].

Current Limitations

  • Can compare only single pair of tables per run.
  • Does not check for column equality - just assumes they're equal.
