I m partial to AdeptSQL   It s clean and intuitive and it DOESN T have the one feature that scares the hell out of me on a lot of similar programs   One giant button that it you push it will automatically synchronize EVERYTHING without so much as a by-your-leave   If you want to sync the changes you have to do it yourself and I like that

User · Answer

There is one tool with source code available at  http   www codeproject com Articles 205011 SQL-Server-Database-Comparison-Tool  That should give flexibility  as code is available

User · Answer

I would definitely go with AdeptSQL if you re using MSSQL  It s the least good looking but the most talented db compare tool amongst the ones I ve tried  It can compare both the structure and the data  It tells you which tables exist on one db but does not exist on the other  compares the structure and data of the common ones and it can produce the script to synchronize the two  It s not free but has a 30 day trial  as far as I can remember
