Schema Changes Summary

In this use case, we connect to two databases on different DBMS platforms, read object definitions, and get a schema changes summary — the total counts of new and changed tables, views, and other objects. This use case is also the starting point for most others: before comparing or synchronizing objects or data, you first need to connect to the databases and load their definitions.

  1. Click A 'Open database(s)' to start connecting to your databases.

    for Cross-DBMS, home tab blank
  2. Specify connection settings at B. Click С 'OK'.

    for Cross-DBMS, home tab open databases
  3. Wait while the tool loads the database definitions. You’ll see a progress indicator D.

    for Cross-DBMS, progress indicator while loading
  4. After loading, you’ll see the total, new, and changed object counts for each type (tables, views, etc.).
