Hi,

I need to check that, after a code-automated copy job, a set of tables in two databases on two different and geographically separated servers are identical.

I'm not sure how best to do this. So far in early testing I've just been running a bit of t-SQL to count the tables. But for final testing I could do with something a bit more robust - counting rows & columns for example or perhaps the size of the files powering the tables.

Can anyone advise on the best way to check this, and offer some appropriate T-SQL?

Cheers,
Matt

Transact Charlie has written a good script for checking Schematic Differences.
Maybe it is helpful for you when using linked server...

No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.
