AdeptSQL Diff integrates
a third-party reporting components (FastReports) to print comparison
results or export them in a variety of popular formats (HTML, PDF,
RTF, XSL, XML). Although the Diff allows to have several types of
reports, including user-made custom ones, version 1.90 comes with
only one report included, which is basically a printer-friendly
representation of the information you see in the schema
tree.
 To invoke the reporting
functionality, run a comparison, then choose the
File/Reporting menu command or the
"Print" ( ) toolbar
button.
A dialog box with
reporting parameters will appear. The Diff looks for report
templates in the Reports/
subdirectory
of the directory where the program is installed. If several
templates are available, you will be able to choose the one you
need from the combo-box at the top of the dialog.
[However, only one
"default" report is included with version 1.90]. The other parameters
you can specify here are:

Skip
unchanged items: Only schema objects
with some differences in them will be reported. You would probably
want to check this option when producing reports for a pair of
complex databases with a small number of mismathces between
them.

·
|
Report
only selected: Makes it possible to
report only items selected in the schema tree or in the DataDiff
view (for data reports). Multiple objects can be simultaneously
selected, as well as entire categories of objects (e.g. tables). If
this option is not checked, the entire schema is included into the
report.

·
|
Brief
stats only: The report will include
only the stats section with the numbers of identical, changed or
missing schema objects of each type, without listing the individual
objects.

Once you click the
[Report...]
button of the
dialog, the report will be generated and displayed in a preview
window. From there, you can either print it out or export in a
number of data formats:
