Compare across multiple DBs?

ab_2016

Can SQL Data Compare a single table (or set of tables) across multiple databases? For example, I have one table that I want to compare across 12 databases. I also only want to compare certain columns of the table across the 12 DBs.

Thanks for any help.

We don't have support for comparing more than two databases in the UI, unfortunately. The easiest way to do this would probably be to use the commandline in a loop to compare against each of the 12 databases: https://documentation.red-gate.com/disp ... mmand+line

To select specific tables and columns for the comparison, you can use 'Mappings': https://documentation.red-gate.com/disp ... ng+objects . These are set up in the UI, but you could save a project file with the relevant mappings set and use that in the commandline.

Does that sound like it would work for you?

Yes, it does sound like it would work. For the command line option, would I need the Pro Edition?

Thanks for your help.

Yep, the commandline is a feature in Pro edition
