Oracle Schema Compare – How to Do It With These 5 Easy Tools

Have you experienced breaking an app because you forgot to add or update new database objects?

We can’t rely on our memory to remember all the schema updates we did. If you’re in a team, every member relying on their memory is even riskier. In addition, relying on memory won’t serve you well when working in a regulated industry. It dictates documented evidence of the changes you made.

So, that calls for using a reliable but easy-to-use tool to do Oracle schema compare.

That’s what we are here for. We will examine hand-picked Oracle tools that are good for comparing database structures and even the data in them.

Here are the tools that are in store for you:

  • Oracle SQL Developer by Oracle,
  • dbForge Studio for Oracle by Devart (Oracle GUI),
  • dbForge Schema Compare for Oracle by Devart,
  • dbForge Compare Bundle for Oracle, again by Devart, and
  • Using plain ‘ol PL/SQL scripts.

Read in full to learn how to compare Oracle schemas.
