Press Release Summary = A tool that compares and synchronizes schemas of Microsoft
SQL Server databases

Press Release Body = TULASOFT has announced the immediate availability of SQL
Examiner 1.4 and SQL Data Examiner 1.0. SQL Examiner enables developers to compare
the schema of two Microsoft SQL Server databases and quickly locate the changes in
tables, views, stored procedures or any other object in the database. Coupled with
SQL Data Examiner, this duet can also compare and synchronize data differences
between the two databases. New to SQL Examiner 1.4 is an ability to compare and
synchronize CLR-objects, which are now supported by SQL Server 2005.

Typically, SQL developers make plenty of changes in a development database before
transferring them to a production database. This process is tedious since it takes
hours of intensive scripting by hand. Besides, it often involves long debugging if
errors occurred during the transfer. SQL Examiner, coupled with SQL Data Examiner,
allows developers to automate the schema and data comparison and synchronization, so
that a production database fully matches a development one and has no missing
structure elements. Developers can take advantage of wide opportunities in
configuring synchronization parameters to make synchronization script meet their
requirements. When a script is being prepared, all links between objects and data
are traced automatically, which is difficult to do manually. It is enough to select
only one object and all the objects dependent on it will be included into the
resulting script. The software has a clean and intuitive Office 2003/Visual Studio
2005-style user interface, which can be customized to individual preferences of the
developer.

What is unique in SQL Examiner? - SQL Examiner, unlike competitors, supports
different synchronization sources. When needed, you can use a backup or a detached
database files or a snapshot as a source database. For your convenience, SQL
Examiner compares a live database with a previous backup without even restoring it;
- When SQL Examiner synchronizes the schema, it can take into account the data,
stored in an updated database too. For example, when you add a constraint UNIQUE to
a column, existing data will be checked for their uniqueness and a warning displayed
if data fail to comply with the constraint; - When there are several ways of dealing
with a particular issue, SQL Examiner offers you to select the conversion method.
For instance, if you try to add a NOT NULL column without the DEFAULT limitation to
a table with data, you will get a warning that it is impossible to add this column
and you will be able to select the conversion method that suits you best - either
add the column as allowing NULL values or write some default value in the new column
(you can even use an SQL script to fill the column with data!); -SQL Examiner
provides a Partial Synchronization mode that allows you to drill down to select
specific columns within a table for a more fine grained comparison. Let\'s say, for
example, there are two columns that differ from each other by three columns and two
constraints. In such a case, you can specify only two columns and one constraint
during synchronization.
