Comparing data

The Compare component compares data from one set of source tables with data from another. Compare is easy to use, simple in concept, yet powerful in supporting complex database structures.

Programmers and DBAs can easily inspect and compare sets of related data. Compare eliminates the time-consuming efforts of manually “assembling” data from different tables and database management systems. Intuitive dialogs simplify data entry tasks and provide options for comparing sets of relationally intact data.

A comprehensive report and complete row-by-row results allow you to:

• Analyze data used to test an application by comparing the results before and after the application is executed.
• Compare archived data with current data.
• Identify similarities and differences in separate databases.
• Track database changes.

Client access to the database, whether local or network, is required.
