For the SQL Server DBA: you are the watchdog, the person who bears the ultimate responsibility for the “health” of the databases in your enterprise. While ideally no one but you can touch the database schemas the reality in most cases is that other people either directly or through different applications may have access to doing just that - “messing up” your database schemas. You can’t stop them but thanks to xSQL Command Line utility you can really watch them – that is you can set up a job that runs at certain intervals, compares the live database to a “master” snapshot and notifies you in case something has changed. It also tells you what exactly was changed and gives you the script you would need to reverse that change if you so desire – all without you having to raise a finger – now that is efficiency. Download and check it out – you will be hooked in no time.

For the Product Manager: you are on the eve of deploying the new version of your product and one of the challenges is that you don’t have enough people to send out to all your customers to upgrade the database – you are going to have to give them instructions on how to upgrade their SQL Server databases from whatever version of your application they are running to the version you are trying to deploy. Unfortunately a lot of those customers may not have the time or the expertise to deal with the issue. Of course you can utilize xSQL SDK to write the necessary code to make the process truly seamless to the user but wait, there is a quicker, albeit not as seamless as you could make it with custom code, solution to your problem – you can embed the xSQL Command Line into your deployment application and instruct it to make the schema of the target database the same as the schema you are deploying and voila – you have given your customers a painless and safe way of upgrading. Ask your developers to download our free lite edition of the xSQL bundle and give the xSQL Command Line a try – you will be glad you did!
