Today, I received an email from one of my blog readers, who would like to match test and production databases. Here is a basic script to compare two databases.

Given below are the objects, script will compare in source and target databases.

• Tables
• Views
• Stored Procedures
• User Defined Functions
• Triggers
• Primary Keys
• Indexes
• Missing column in table or view
• Mismatch data type in table or view
• Missing Parameter in the stored procedure

@Target_DB_Name varchar(Max)
