Software Review: MissionKit 2009: Database Comparison And Merging From Altova - Page 2

Part of: The RAM Review

When you identify differences between tables, you can merge content in either direction, update individual cells, or update entire tables. You can generate a Restore script to document your changes or as a precaution against accidental deletion of critical data, and if you need to perform the same comparison again in the future, you can save database comparison selections in a file to easily reload.

Altova MissionKit 2009

DiffDog 2009 is another compare and merge tool. DiffDog allows developers to identify differences quickly. It lets you compare XML or source code files quickly, and then merge changes with a click of the mouse. With Quick Comparison you can efficiently compare two directories with huge quantities of files, then immediately open and edit any unequal file pair in a side-by-side view. You can connect your laptop to the office network and sync up files quickly and easily. For optimal efficiency, you merge directly within the differencing interface, then instantly re-compare.

DiffDog 2009 is an incredible diff merge tool for comparing and merging text files, folders, directories, and database tables. Its unique XML-aware differencing functionality is essential for developers working with XML.

If you work with changing data, especially with databases, you will find that DatabaseSpy will be an important weapon in your arsenal. It will save you time and headaches many times over. It will increase your workflow and make your life easier.

If you work with a variety of changing data, including files and directories, then DiffDog will do the same, allowing you to highlight differences and make sure that you have all the files you need when you need them. As a bonus, the Altova MissionKit 2009 provides you both of these tools in one consistent interface. I highly recommend the Altova MissionKit 2009.
