TableDiff hangs with blinking cursor

  • Hello all,

    I am trying to compare two replicating databases that have become out-of-sync using the TableDiff utility. I have been able to use this utility to generate queries to synchronize tables in the past, but recently I have been having problems running it. I have waited for up to around half an hour, and it never terminates. Instead, there's just a blinking cursor underneath the parsed list of commands.

    The command I issue is of the form:

    tablediff -sourceserver SERVER1 -sourcedatabase DATABASE1 -sourcetable TABLE1 -destinationserver SERVER2 -destinationdatabase DATABASE2 -destinationtable TABLE1 -o c:\resync\tdOutput.txt -f c:\resync\tdUpdate.sql

    When I run such a command, the utility displays the parameters I listed, and a blinking cursor a couple of lines below.

    What am I doing wrong? Do I need to supply some additional input, or does that simply mean that the command is still processing?

    I would appreciate any advice that anyone can give. Thanks.

  • Ah, turns out I just wasn't being patient enough. The query file did eventually generate. My apologies for this unnecessary post.

    [feel free to delete it]
