Applicable object types: Tables and Queries

This tab allows to compare and merge data for a particular table or query (for query only comparison). Highlights new and changed rows, specific changed fields in the changed row:

Vertical toolbar between two panels contains additional tab-specific actions:

'Column mapping' opens Custom data diff dialog to specify key columns, which columns to show and how to map them if you want to compare columns with changed names
or 'Compare definition' opens table/query definition in Table structure diff tab for tables and Text diff for queries
Ignore case (for the text data)
Ignore leading and trailing whitespaces (for the text data, this option also makes NULL and empty string to be considered as equal)

Each row has a selection checkbox nearby - so you can select the number of rows with the mouse or with the Space button from the keyboard and do some further actions with selected rows - merge or delete. Column headers for non-key fields also have selection checkboxes - so you can merge only required fields.

Top panel contains:

Paging control with page number and page size (on the right side). You can disable paging by specifying 0 as page size. But for large amount of data it is highly recommended to use paging for better performance
Changes summary for each side: total, new, changed and new+changed row count for the whole table and for current page, selected row count
Selected column names

Bottom panel shows selected line from both sides, providing easier comparison of changed values. Non-key string/text column headers are marked with ◁ triangle character, specifying that click on such column header opens a Text diff tab with this column values pair (can be useful for large or multiline strings).

Data grid key columns are marked with a 🔑 key character. Data grid allows sorting on key fields and comparable columns, by mouse click on column name. Sorted columns are marked with a ▲ black triangle showing the sort direction. Sortable columns are marked with empty triangles. Not every column can be sortable. To be sortable, a column must exist on both sides, it must have the same data type on both sides and this data type must not be a binary, attachment, multivalue or GUID.
