Get the Column level difference for 2 database
The query will help to get the column level difference for 2 database(Like Prod and Dev database). This help us to verify what are the column changes has been done in dev environment after Prod deployment.
Please change the database name as per your requirement.
In below example I used the MiteshProd as Prouction db and Miteshdev as dev enviroment
--Change the Database name ; For below query I used the MiteshProd as Prouction db and Miteshdev as dev enviroment
