Find and fix errors caused by differences between databases
SQL Compare is the industry standard for comparing and deploying SQL Server database schemas quickly and accurately.
71% of the Fortune 100 use SQL Compare to compare SQL Server databases – because it's relentlessly tested, easy to use, creates flawless deployment scripts, and saves time.
Whether you need to deploy changes or explore the differences between two SQL Server databases, SQL Compare helps you do the job quickly, simply, and with zero errors.
I bless the day we bought SQL Compare - it saves me time so often. Must have paid for itself a hundred times over.

Make deployments faster
Remembering the changes you’ve made to a database, working out what your colleagues have done, and scripting it out for deployment is tricky and time consuming.
SQL Compare makes it fast.
You can explore what’s changed in each database object, down to individual lines of SQL. When you’re ready to deploy, you can create an error-free deployment script in minutes.
Deploy with zero errors
SQL Compare scripts dependencies in your database in the right order, to make sure deployment is successful.
It also flags up any issues, such as data loss, before you deploy
Find and fix problems in production
To fix errors in your production database, compare it to a backup, scripts in source control, or a database snapshot. You can deploy single objects to fix the issue fast.
If you need to fix static data, use SQL Data Compare to deploy changes without the need for full database recovery.
Deploy with scripts, the UI, or the command line
SQL Compare fits into the development process you prefer.
You can automate deployments with the command line, run them from the UI, or save a deployment script and run it yourself.
For review and sign-off, you can also export a list of changes in HTML or Excel formats.
