DBA xPress simplifies managing large data estates by providing solutions for comparing data schema and browsing through database content: compare databases and synchronize schema and data within them, analyze dependencies and connections among tables, users, functions, and security policies, browse content of SQL Server databases, access the scripts for each object, and export them into an XML file.
