I am trying to contruct a tool for the automation of database updates.

I was wondering if you guys knew of such a tool that was on the market already or that you produced that I can get familiar with...

We have a client's database, and a database here s is basically the updated version of the client database.

Basically, I would like to construct a tool that will convert the updated database into a script file( I know how to do that), then compare both the scripts from the client's database and the updated database and generate the differences and scripts . These scripts will then be scripted into the clients database for them to become identical databases.

Here it the outline of the tool...

1- Indentify the differences between the databases

create a script file for both databases

run both files into the exam differences tool

recognize the differences


2. For each difference, generate the SQL code for it

For difference x, code y

3. Run each difference into the update script

4. To see that it works, generate



THANKS GUYS!!!!

TAKE CARE!
