CLI scenario samples

Here are the command-line interface scenario samples.

Compare table and export to automatically generated file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DatabaseCompareSuiteScenario xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
         <Connection side="left" databaseDialect="MSSQL" server="mssqlserver2012" port="1433" authentication="Standard" userID="user" password="pass" />
         <Connection side="right" databaseDialect="MSSQL" server="mssqlserver2012" port="1433" authentication="Standard" userID="user" password="pass" />
         <Operation name="Schema Comparison" sourceScope="Tables TestDB.dbo" targetScope="Tables TestDB2.dbo">
                 <Export />
         </Operation>
</DatabaseCompareSuiteScenario>

Execute scripts on databases

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DatabaseCompareSuiteScenario xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
         <Connection side="left" databaseDialect="MSSQL" server="mssqlserver2012" port="1433" authentication="Standard" userID="user" password="pass" />
         <Connection side="right" databaseDialect="MSSQL" server="mssqlserver2012" port="1433" authentication="Standard" userID="user" password="pass" />
         <ExecuteSql side="left">Update dbo.Country Set CountryCode = 1234 Where CountryName="BAHAMAS"</ExecuteSql>
         <ExecuteSql side="right" path="D:\Word\DB\AddNewProd.sql"/>
</DatabaseCompareSuiteScenario>

Multiple operations in a scenario

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DatabaseCompareSuiteScenario xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
         <Connection side="left" databaseDialect="MSSQL" server="mssqlserver2012" port="1433" authentication="Standard" userID="user" password="pass" />
         <Connection side="right" databaseDialect="MSSQL" server="mssqlserver2012" port="1433" authentication="Standard" userID="user" password="pass" />
         <Operation name="Schema Comparison" sourceScope="Tables TestDB.dbo" targetScope="Tables TestDB2.dbo" />
         <Operation name="Schema Comparison" sourceScope="Views TestDB.dbo" targetScope="Views TestDB2.dbo" />
         <Operation name="Schema Comparison" sourceScope="TestIntegers.dbo" targetScope="TestNewTypes.dbo" />
</DatabaseCompareSuiteScenario>

In this scenario there are 3 kinds of objects compared:

  1. Tables of schema “dbo” in databases “TestDB” and “TestDB2”.

  2. Views of schema “dbo” in databases “TestDB” and “TestDB2”.

  3. Schemas “dbo” in databases “TestIntegers” and “TestNewTypes”.

         <OpenProject>C:\WorkFolder\MyProjectFile.dsuite</OpenProject>
         <Operation name="Schema Comparison" sourceScope="TEST_DB" targetScope="TestDB.dbo" />
</DatabaseCompareSuiteScenario>
