Understanding Schema Differences
AdeptSQL Diff displays schema information from both databases
in the same tree view, which may be a bit unusual at the beginning. The
program uses color highlighting to indicate any changes in the schema.
Here is how you should read an example snapshot:
 |
|
Left-hand DB
|
Right-hand DB
|
What it
means
|
|
Authors
|
Authors
|
These tables differ
|
|
BookStock |
BookStock |
These are
identical on both sides |
|
(not present) |
BookTitle |
In the
second database only |
|
BookTitleEx |
(not present) |
In the
first database only |
|
All colors and font styles for the highlighting are
configurable, you can change them in the Schema Options dialog.
The highlighting hint window
When
you first start the program, you will see a help window explaining the
color coding. Once you familiarize yourself with the colors, you'll
most likely want to check the "Don't show again" option and get rid of
this window.
