    BRANDS THAT TRUST DATABASE COMPARE SUITE

    Features

    We at DB Best understand the importance of data and the pain of data loss or corruption. So, we created a tool that you can trust when it comes to data operations, such as comparison, migration, synchronization, verification, integrity checks, and many others.

    Database Compare Suite supports the following database platforms: Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Redshift, Apache Cassandra, Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Data Warehouse, Greenplum, IBM DB2, Netezza, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SAP ASE, SAP IQ, Teradata, and Vertica.

    Find the list of key Database Compare Suite features below.

    Database Schema Comparison Tool

    Compare database schemas and identify differences in tables, views, triggers, stored procedures, functions, packages, synonyms, rules, etc. The schema comparison operation takes into account specifics of all supported dialects.

    Data Comparison Tool

    Compare data in two database tables or views to quickly discover whether they are equal or not. You can run this operation against databases with equal or close-to-equal database schemas regardless of the source and target platforms.

    Fast Data Comparison Tool

    For big volumes of data, the fast data comparison operation quickly checks whether the tables are not equal or not. The result is based on the value, returned by the hash function, so, the detailed comparison results are not available.

    Data Migration Tool

    Migrate data from the source table to the target table regardless of the database platforms. Use caution when migrating data as this operation clears the data in the target table and then uploads the data from the source table.

    Command-line interface

    Database Compare Suite includes both GUI and CLI versions. You can utilize a command-line interface to automate the execution of different data management tasks, DevOps operations, and verification of migration or upgrade.

    Schema comparison

    Compare database schemas and identify differences in tables, views, triggers, stored procedures, functions, packages, synonyms, rules, etc. The schema comparison operation takes into account specifics of all supported dialects.

    Schema synchronization

    Synchronize database schemas between different environments or even migrate databases from one platform to another. Database Compare Suite generates a synchronization script based on the results of the schema comparison operation.

    Data comparison

    Compare data in 2 selected tables or views to quickly discover whether they are equal or not. You can run this operation against databases with equal or close-to-equal database schemas regardless of the source and target platforms.

    Detailed data comparison

    Discover the exact differences in data stored in 2 tables or views. Database Compare Suite highlights the rows and columns with differences. You can easily navigate through the differences and synchronize data if needed.

    Fast data comparison

    For big volumes of data, the fast data comparison operation quickly checks whether the tables are not equal or not. The result is based on the value, returned by the hash function, so, the detailed comparison results are not available.

    Data migration

    Migrate data from the source table to the target table regardless of the database platforms. Use caution when migrating data as this operation clears the data in the target table and then uploads the data from the source table.

    Data synchronization

    Add missing data from the source table to the target table. The tool populates the target table with missing data from the source table. Unlike the data migration operation, this operation doesn't overwrite data in the target table.

    Settings comparison

    Compare server or database settings of two Microsoft SQL Server databases. This feature may come in handy for Microsoft SQL Server upgrade projects as you can run this operation between different versions of SQL Server.

    Command-line interface

    Database Compare Suite includes both GUI and CLI versions. You can utilize a command-line interface to automate the execution of different data management tasks, DevOps operations, and verification of migration or upgrade.

    NoSQL databases support

    Database Compare Suite supports both relational databases and NoSQL databases such as Amazon DynamoDB and Apache Cassandra. You can compare, migrate, and synchronize data between NoSQL databases and a relational counterpart.

    Cloud databases support

    You can use Database Compare Suite to connect both to on-premises and cloud databases. Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, you name it. Database Compare Suite is always there to help you manage data.

    Data Warehouse support

    You can use Database Compare Suite to manage Bid Data storage like Azure SQL Data Warehouse, Amazon Redshift, Netezza, Greenplum, and Teradata. Be sure to use fast data comparison operation to compare data in a blink of an eye.

    Queries execution

    Run queries against the selected database object in the database metadata tree. You can execute queries execution against the source and target databases and then compare the results to validate database code migration.

    Objects matching

    You can manually match two objects in source and target databases. This allows for comparing database schemas, tables, or any other objects with different names. So, you can ignore specific prefixes of different environments.

    Type mapping

    If the target database doesn't support the same data type as the source database, you can map types manually to carry on the comparison operation. You can rely on default type mapping, which is based on industry best practices.

    Comparing and migrating databases just got a lot easier!

    Now you can do this with one powerful and simple suite of tools that every DBA and database developer needs.

    Supported Database Platforms

    • Database Compare Suite Features

      Discover the endless possibilities of our unique database migration tool.

    • Database Compare Suite Overview

      Learn more about a powerful and simple tool that every DBA and database developer needs.

    • Interface Elements Workspace

      This is the main application window. In this window, users can select the scope of their operation (highlight a few objects in the metadata tree to the left and right) and the operation itself (second, third, and fourth buttons on the top toolbar).

    • Matching Success

      The matching page is designed to map objects to perform the operation. By default, the comparison is done automatically by the type and object name. If automatic mapping does not provide suitable relevant pairs of objects, users can manually perform the matching.

    • Options

      The data options page contains a tree of matched object items (tables, views, and columns) and an item for default options on the left side of the window. Comparison options are located on the right part of the window. Options collection depends on the type of selected tree item. Any change in default options will affect all pairs of data objects in current operation unless you changed options for a specific pair of data objects.

    • Settings Comparison

      The "Settings Comparison" operation compares server or database settings of two MS SQL Server instances. The result of the comparison shows all available settings for the selected pair of servers or databases.

    • Detailed Data Comparison Result

      The detailed data comparison operation compares data of Data Objects pairs (tables or views). The Results page displays all rows with differences.

    • Schema Sync Window

      The synchronization schema operation allows users to make target object schema equivalent to source object schema. The intermediate result of the schema synchronization operation is the metadata tree containing different objects (the upper part of the window with the result) and scripts to synchronize (the lower part of the window).
