SQL DXP
SQL DXP compares databases of the same or different server types and transfers schema or data between SQL Server, Oracle, and MySQL.
What SQL DXP is
SQL DXP compares databases of the same or different server types and transfers schema or data between SQL Server, Oracle, and MySQL. For schema comparisons, it identifies missing or changed objects and can create a script to apply changes to the target. Cross-platform conversion supports compatible target objects, though some source objects and properties cannot be converted. Its data comparison matches rows by selected index columns, often a primary key, and checks chosen columns for differences. Users can set schema and data filters, map schema names, and map tables and columns between source and target. Generated synchronization scripts can be edited before execution. SQL DXP also produces HTML comparison reports and XML schema snapshots; snapshots can serve as backups, be kept with version control, or supply a later comparison. Projects can run from the Windows command line with options for logging, quiet execution, script generation, and deployment. It runs on Windows. Pricing starts at $460, and a 14-day trial is available; there is no free plan.
