User Interface for TableDiff command line utility

I'm reading: User Interface for TableDiff command line utilityTweet this !

The tablediff utility is used to compare the data in two tables for non-convergence, and is particularly useful for troubleshooting non-convergence in a replication topology. This utility can be used from the command prompt or in a batch file to perform the following tasks:

  • A row by row comparison between a source table in an instance of Microsoft SQL Server acting as a replication Publisher and the destination table at one or more instances of SQL Server acting as replication Subscribers.

  • Perform a fast comparison by only comparing row counts and schema.

  • Perform column-level comparisons.

  • Generate a Transact-SQL script to fix discrepancies at the destination server to bring the source and destination tables into convergence.

  • Log results to an output file or into a table in the destination database.

Many of us would have used this tool. The only boring and time consuming point with this tool is that it's a command-line based tool and it's hard to type those long commands again and again. Now here is a little utility that's a very simple user interface that acts as a driver for this utility. Below is a screen-shot of the same.
