The fastest way to compare & deploy SQL Server schemas
Save time comparing and deploying SQL Server database schemas with SQL Compare. Find and fix errors, and create deployment scripts in minutes.
Compare SQL Server schema changes from dev, to test, to production
Compare SQL Server database schemas, large and small, with advanced filtering of database objects.
You can explore what’s changed in each database object, down to individual lines of SQL. When you’re ready to deploy, you can create an error-free deployment script in minutes.
Troubleshoot database differences and create reports in HTML or Excel.
Deploy with zero errors
SQL Compare scripts dependencies in your database in the right order, to make sure deployment is successful.
You get notifications about any issues, such as data loss, before you deploy.
Deploy changes directly
Migrate individual schema differences, a selection of them, or all of them.
Build sophisticated rules to selectively limit what to deploy.
You can automate deployments with the command line, run them from the UI, or save a deployment script and run it yourself.
Find and fix problems in production
To fix errors in your production database, compare it to a backup, scripts in source control, or a database snapshot. You can deploy single objects to fix the issue fast.
If you need to fix static data, use SQL Data Compare to deploy changes without the need for full database recovery.

Part of the SQL Toolbelt“I bless the day we bought SQL Compare - it saves me time so often. Must have paid for itself a hundred times over.”
“SQL Data Compare and SQL Compare are two of the most important tools I have in my development operation. I can be so responsive to end-user requests for new features using the tools to deploy upgrades to my SaaS application (which by the way has 100% uptime for the last 7 consecutive months) because of the excellent work by Redgate.”
“100% like the new look and feel. The product is very easy to use and somehow you managed to incorporate a lot of familiarity with the updated look which I think is spot on. Not enough to cause data professionals to go into a panic but enough for us to be wowed.”
“For the price you pay, you'll save the equivalent time on your next version release.”
“We can create SQL deployment scripts extremely fast and have them ready for a release within minutes of the build being generated. We use SQL Data Compare to sync any system configuration changes, and then we are pretty much ready to go.
Your software is, in a word, awesome. Keep up the great work!”
“SQL Compare has saved us an awful lot of time and code and allowed us to get our version control organised across our 40 data warehouses... Like I said, great product, great value.”
“Just purchased SQL Compare. With the productivity I'll get out of this tool, it's like buying time.”
