| Good day!I am having a big problem on how to update table entities and stored procedures from old database to new modified database.In modified database, some tables are edited like, new tables are added, new columns are added in tables,some tables are deleted, data type changes same with the stored procedures.I need to know if there is a query or any other way to to this. I don't want to review each tables and store procedures since there is 60 tables and 85 stored procedures in Old database.I need to do this without losing the data in each tables in Old database.Thank you for helping!TRANSOFTWARE |

| We use Red Gate's SQL Compare utility to sync databases where we don't know what's different. I must say though that you should know what is different if you are properly versioning the database and using source control. It should be rare that you need to run a sync'ing tool. By the way, the tool is not free but is reasonable. We absolutely love the Red Gate SQL Toolbelt which has this in it. I am not paid to say this at all, it's just my own experience.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Subscribe to my blog |

| Just to clarify, the RedGate SQL Compare does the schema portion. You'll also need the SQL Data Compare to get the data sync'd. They'll both be in the toolkit bundle. I've used these for years and always found them useful.=================================================Men shout to avoid listening to one another. -Miguel de Unamuno |
