After you compare the data in two databases, you see each
database object
that you compared
and its status. You can also view results for the records within each object, grouped by status.
After you view the differences, you can update the
target
to match the
source
for some or all of
the objects or records that are different, missing, or new.
-
Compare the data in a source and a target.
-
(Optional) Do one or both of the following steps:
By default, the results for all objects appear, regardless of their status. To display
only those objects that have a particular status, select an option in the
list.
To view results for records within a particular object, select the object in the main
results pane, and then select a tab in the Records View pane. Each tab displays all
records within that object that have a particular status: different, only in source, only
in target, and identical. Data appears by record and column.
