  • Look into DTS packages - if both your source and destination databases are sql server it makes your job easier still - you could use queries for your validation before copying data!

    You could try one sample table as test to begin with - the dts wizard will walk you through the steps!







    **ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI !!!**

  • Here's what I do.

    Make a copy of the target database.

    Perform comparison and synchronization and produce a delta script using the copy of the target database.

    I know the delta script works as I've tested it using the above.

    All this is made easy with the right tool - I use DB Ghost http://www.dbghost.com - still the only application that creates a SQL delta script that always works because of the way it created the SQL delta.
