Comparing SQL schema and table data with AdeptSQL Diff

Click here to see the screenshot explainedAdeptSQL Diff is a lightning fast and intuitive tool to visually compare and synchronize two MS SQL Server databases. The program scans both databases and displays the combined schema tree view, with all differences color-marked.

Navigating through the database schema tree, you can see SQL definitions for individual objects (tables, view, stored procedures, etc) compared side-by-side in the larger panel to the right of the schema tree.

You can produce difference scripts for any chosen part or for the whole schema. The schema matching engine generates effective update SQL for any schema difference you need to synchronize, trying to preserve the table data whenever possible.

The generated scripts are displayed in a separate debugger-style popup window where you can edit them, execute them either uninterrupted or step-by-step, set breakpoints, turn on transactions and rollback on errors.

Even if you have only one database to work with, the drag&drop scripting (you simply drag one or more schema items to any text editor supporting regular OLE drag&drop) together with very flexible scripting options makes AdeptSQL Diff a perfect tool to explore your database schema.

Currently, version for MS SQL Server is available. Support for other SQL databases is planned.

The evaluation version is fully functional: it has no "trial" restrictions other than the 30-day / 50-runs (whichever lasts longer) time limit. The latest version is AdeptSQL Diff 1.98 Build 102. It supports each of the following versions of MS SQL Server:

  • MS SQL Server 2008
  • MS SQL Server 2005
  • MS SQL Server 2000

Please note that updates within AdeptSQL Diff 1.xx version range are free for all registered customers. Furthermore, we only provide technical support for the most recent Diff version. Always make sure you have the most recent version!


It was nightmare keeping up to date with minor changes to the database structure - adding new fields, new indexes, removing old indexes etc. I am very happy to say that AdeptSQL took all the pain out of this process, being very easy to use and understand. I would have no hesitation in recommending this excellent tool to anyone with an SQL server.

20 July 2010
Hotfix: AdeptSQL Diff 1.98 Build 103
This update fixes a bug in Build 102 that caused the Diff to always re-scan the databases after executing a script.

See the complete list of changes for more details.



09 July 2010
AdeptSQL Diff 1.98 Build 102

This version fixes the SQL2000 compatibility issue of Build 101 and contains a number of other bugfixes and improvements.

IMPORTANT: as of this version, we no longer support two separate "editions" with alternative activation key formats. The "Licensee name/Short key" format is the only one available now. The licensed users who still have the "classic" Diff edition will have to request a new key, free of charge, after this update.

SQL 7.0 dropped: as of this version, AdeptSQL Diff is no longer tested with SQL Server 7.0. The Diff might still work with SQL 7.0, but the compatibility is no longer maintained.



23 Apr 2010
Compatibility issue with SQL 2000
It has turned out that the recent changes in handling TRIGGERS prevent the Build 101 from reading MS SQL Server 2000 (or older) databases. Build 101 does work correctly with SQL2005/2008 databases. Users affected by this bug are invited to revert to the previous version until a fix is available.

25 Mar 2010
AdeptSQL Diff 1.97 Build 101!
This update includes improved comparison/scripting of TRIGGERs and scripting of TIMESTAMP columns, as well as some minor corrections.

28 Dec 2009
AdeptSQL Diff 1.97 Build 100!
This is a must have update, with improved support for CLR data types, added support for spatial indexes, many improvements in the Options dialog and a number of bugs fixed.

Happy New Year to everyone!
