| I have a SQL 2008 R2 server that contains both my production DB and my development DB. I was wondring if anyone had tips on comparing the two to make sure that the design (tables, columns, views, relasionships, etc) are the same. I don't care if the data inside tables is the same, I actualy expect them not to be. Any one have tips or ideas on making sure the two DB designs are in sync?-- If I get used to envying others...Those things about my self I pride will slowly fade away.-Stellvia |

| Thanks, that does some of what I want to do but it does not look to compair views, relasionships, stored procs, etc or even support the columns I have set to varchar(MAX). You also have to specify the table each time which would get a little tidious for a database that has over 30 tables. Any other ideas?-- If I get used to envying others...Those things about my self I pride will slowly fade away.-Stellvia |

| Or just generate a script of all the tables, views, etc using SSMS and compare that? |
