    KS DB Merge Tools

    KS DB Merge Tools

    KS DB Merge Tools

    KS DB Merge Tools is an easy to use diff & merge tool for MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle Database, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MS Access and Cross-DBMS databases allowing to compare and sync both schema and data. Starting with a schema changes summary, results can be narrowed down to object lists of particular object type (table definitions, views, etc.), and then down to definition of particular object. Data changes can be retrieved as a high-level list of changes totals across all tables in the database, each total row count can be observed as a side-by-side list of rows for the given table, each changed row can be analyzed for changes in each column. Various diff results provide quick filters to show only new/changed/new+changed items (schema objects or table data rows), ability to select required changed items and generate scripts to apply these changes to the other side database. This script can be executed immediately or saved for future use.
