Compare schema changes for all database at instance level

  • Hi,

    Is there any way to compare schema changes for all databases in an instance? I want to compare at instance level for dbs before and after a production release.

    Thanks

  • One option is you can view the schema changes and likely easiest way would be to view the Schema Changes History report at the server level - in SSMS, right click on the instance, Select Reports, select Schema change History. Otherwise you would want to go through the default trace file which is what the report does.

  • Schema Changes History report at the server level shows " Alter Index" that we do daily for index defrag. This is not going to help.

    Do I need to look for a tool? or anything available in SQL server for schema comparison?

    Or do I need to generate scripts for all objects and upload to a version control and when even I need to compare, then generate a new script for all objects in a DB and compare with what we have in version control?

    How o you guys manage?
