This new version performs an analysis on your database structure, identifying changes and exporting them as a hot-fix you can apply as an update without chaging your data.

Compare and synchronize your databases with SQL Examiner, easily updating your production systems from the databases in your development scenario. This new version carries out an analysis on your database structure, identifying changes and exporting them as a hot-fixes that you can apply as updates without affecting your data.

SQL Examiner is currently in its 2009 R3 release, targeting the simplification of database development, maintenance tasks and application of hot-fixes. Retaining existing data intact, particularly live data if needed, is a very difficult task when carrying out changes on the structure of a database. For precisely that, the database version control feature allows developers working with Microsoft SQL Server to perform compare and synchronization tasks between the structures of the development and production system databases, in a way that doesn't jeapordize your important data.

These tasks can therefore be performed swiftly and efficiently, extracting and applying changes to MS SQL Server databases, compatible with editions 7.0 through 2008 and covering all available editions. Furthermore, all the object types the various SQL Server versions used are recognized and supported, while processing a variety of possible database forms allows for a greater range of options, this including working with data pumps, live or snapshots of databases, as well as SQL scripts.

Managing to perform the required steps in an automated and controlled fashion, it lessens the occurrence of costly problems to a minimum, as well as release human resources for other jobs. How is that possible? For one, SQL Examiner 2009 R3 is highly flexible, allowing for a choice between step-wise processing and using SQL Compare in a command-line form, able to configure auto-synchronizations of the databases you own.

During the application of a hot-fix, the engine is clever enough to approach the job in a data-preserving method, taking measures not to allow any unauthorized changes to take place. Quite often, manually updating the structure of an MS SQL Database could result in deletion of records, application of NULL-value restrictions and a series of other changes that could make your system dysfunctional. SQL Examiner takes care not to let this happen by carefully analyzing all the changes to be applied and clearly presenting any possible issues that arise. When such issues happen, the user is provided with a number of choices, including:
* mass updates of values with default, valid ones
* perform only a partial update, leaving the changes causing the problem back
* ignore warnings and perform synchronization regardless
* cancel the whole process

Visit TulaSoft LLC's website at http://www.sqlaccessories.com and obtain the latest version of SQL Examiner available to try out before purchasing any of the available editions differentiating on number of users and functionality available. The application's advanced features, such as being able to synchronize dependent objects without problems, and offer or a command-line tool for simpler automatic calls will make your life as a database administrator much simpler.

With prices starting as low as 160€, this SQL compare tool offers small updates for free, major ones with large discount and technical support without charge in addition to the actual application.
