How can i see differences between two .sdf files?

Question

I need a tool that show me the differences between two .sdf files. Is there something I can download or do I have to write some code?

Answer 1

If you are running on linux you can compare any two files, or directories for that matter, using the 'diff' command. The syntax is quite simple: 'diff item1 item2'. For more info use 'man diff' or check out this link.

Answer 2

There are a number of companies which make schema comparison tools for SQL Server (which I presume is what underlies your question). For instance xSQL Software offers xSQL Object, which is free for certain editions of SQL Server. Red-Gate have SQL Compare, which has a 14-day trial.

If you are looking for something FOSS, there is Open DBDiff.
