Screenshot of Aqua Data Studio 18.0.0 displaying the ‘Schema Synchronization’ window. The panel compares and maps columns between a source schema (C##AQUA_DEVELOPMENT) and a target schema (C##AQUA_TEST) in an Oracle 10g database. The top section highlights unmatched columns in the target database that need mapping or removal. The bottom section displays the ‘Target Table Column Mapping’ interface, where users can map columns or choose to drop them from the target table. The left panel lists database schemas, tables, and objects in a tree structure for navigation.

SQL Schema Compare

The Schema Compare Tool also allows comparing database objects of different DBMS vendors. Compare Filters, Syntax highlighting, and save comparison results as HTML provide the ability to visualize data more efficiently. With a rich set of options and flexible features to perform Data Compare, Tabs Compare and Results Compare, users can run reports on production and development environments to analyze differences effectively.

Database Comparison Tools:

Schema Compare
The Schema Compare Tool finds differences in DDL between database objects in two schemas. You can compare Tables, Views, Stored Procedures, Indexes, Triggers or any other database object types. The Status of the comparison are shown in a color-coded grid together with the number of differences (Diff Count).
Tabs Compare
You can easily do a side-by-side comparison of any opened editor windows in Aqua Data Studio. If you have more that two editor windows open, a Select Tabs to Compare window is displayed and you can choose from the tabs list.
Schema Synchronization
You can now seamlessly deploy differences from your source schema to your target schema for Oracle (10g+), Microsoft SQL Server (2005+), Sybase ASE (15+), Sybase IQ (15.1+), MariaDB (10.2+), MySQL (5.1+), PostgreSQL (9.0+), and DB2 LUW (10.1+). A wizard allows you to select dependencies, map missing columns, configure your script to fix potential deployment issues, view a summary of actions and warnings, and generate the deployment script to execute in Query Analyzer.
Results Compare
The results of queries generated in multiple Query Analyzer windows can be compared. The differences of table/view data are shown in a grid with highlighted rows and columns that contain the differences.
Cross-DBMS Schema Compare
Use the Display options to model diagrams based on Attribute, Primary Key, Entity, Physical Schema, Nullable Columns, Comments or Relationship Names. An option for Schema Folder Grouping is also available.
Compare Data
The data contents of objects that exists in two schemas can be compared. A Compare Data operation can be launched directly from the Schema Comparison results dialog by clicking the Compare Data button adjacent to the Filter Options at the top of the results. The differences of table/view data are shown in a grid with highlighted rows and columns that contain the differences.
View SQL with Syntax Highlighting
You can compare and observe the differences between the DDL of each object set in an SQL editor. The editor automatically color codes SQL keywords, vendor keywords, data types, system functions, system tables, quoted strings and comments to make it easier to read and spot the differences.
Save Comparison Results as HTML
The results of a schema comparison can be saved as an HTML report. Once the results are displayed, click the Save button located at the top left of the pane.
Compare
The Compare feature allows you to compare the DDL of two selected objects belonging to any database schema. Multi select the two objects you wish to compare, right click and select the option Compare. The comparison result is displayed in an editor with the deleted, changed or added items.
