Introduction
In my earlier article we have discussed about the SQL Server schema comparison tool in Visual Studio 2010 http://www.dotnetfunda.com/articles/article1121-sql-server-schema-comparison-tool-in-visual-studio-2010-.aspx. Today in this article I’m going to explain yet another new tool in Visual Studio 2010 which is nothing but the DATA COMPARISON tool. This tool is of extreme use for the developers to compare data in 2 tables in different environment (in real time say a reference table data should be compared from Development to Production).
Many third party software’s available in market which servers the same purpose for comparing the data between the environments, but with Visual Studio Microsoft has given this functionality inbuilt as a comparison tool so that Visual Studio emerges as a bundled product which servers most of the development tasks and day to day activities which the developers and DBA’s required to do. Microsoft Database server version for Database administrators and developers has provided with many features like database development, version controlling, unit testing, code analysis, code maintenance etc…
Availability
Microsoft has provided option in Visual Studio 2010 to compare the data for SQL Server 2005 and 2008 versions, since SQL Server 2000 support is not provided by Microsoft this version is not included with VS 2010. So both SQL Schema Comparison and Data Comparison are supported for SQL Server 2005 and 2008 versions. These tools are available for the licenses with Visual Studio Premium and Visual Studio Ultimate versions and not available for the Visual Studio Professional version.
Let’s jump into the demonstration on how to use the Visual Studio 2010 Data Compare tool; I’m taking Sql server database data comparison. Let’s see the step by step process on how to use this tool.
Step by Step Process
Step 1 – Open Visual Studio 2010 by moving to Start > Program > Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 > Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
Step 2 – Once Visual Studio is opened, go to Data --> Data Compare --> New Data Comparison…
Step 3 – You will see a dialog box which requests for the source and destination db and the properties to connect to those db servers as below
Step 4 – Choose the source and the destination DB servers which you want to compare with. If you can see the above image, there are the options available for the comparison like Different Records, Only in Source, Only in Target, Identical Records. Based on the needs these options can be selected to make the comparison of the data. Once the options are selected click on the FINISH button, it will open a new screen.
Step 5 – The new window will show the list of tables and views in the Source/destination servers and the list of columns for each table. You have given the option to select the columns which needs to be compared. The main point to note down here is the tables to be compared needs to have a Primary or Unique Key by which the tool will make the comparison. So Select the list of tables and the constraints as per the requirement as shown in the below figure and click on FINISH button.
Step 6 – Once we click the FINISH button, the tool will start doing the comparison based on the selection we made and gets the result in a new windows as shown in the below image. The window has few sections which gives the user to make analysis of the data which are compared. The options which we gave at the step 3 are shown as output here. The window will have the Count of data difference in both the source and the destination, Count of data difference in source only, Count of data difference in destination only and finally the identical records in both the servers.
Step 7 – In the same window we have some useful information, and guess what are the information’s?? Yes the tool gives which are the difference in the data stored as per the selection we made in the step 3 as shown in the below image.
Step 8 – Finally in the same window we have some more set of information’s like the tool itself generates the insert and the update scripts to sync between the databases as shown in the below image.
Conclusion
This tool is really going to be more productive for the day to day activity of the developers and improves the productivity. Thanks to Microsoft for incorporating these tools into Visual Studio 2010.

SQL SERVER – Index Created on View not Used Often – Limitation of the View 12: "
I have previously written on the subject SQL SERVER – The Limitations of the Views – Eleven and more…. This was indeed a very popular series and I had received lots of feedback on that topic. Today we are going to discuss something very interesting as well.
During my recent performance tuning seminar in Hyderabad, I presented on the subject of Views. During the seminar, one of the attendees asked a question:
We create a table and create a View on the top of it. On the same view, if we create Index, when querying View, will that index be used?
The answer is NOT Always!
(There is only one specific condition when it will be used. We will write about that later in the next post).
Let us see the test case for the same. In our script we will do following:
USE tempdb
GO
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.views WHERE OBJECT_ID = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[SampleView]'))
DROP VIEW [dbo].[SampleView]
GO
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE OBJECT_ID = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[mySampleTable]') AND TYPE IN (N'U'))
DROP TABLE [dbo].[mySampleTable]
GO
-- Create SampleTable
CREATE TABLE mySampleTable (ID1 INT, ID2 INT, SomeData VARCHAR(100))
INSERT INTO mySampleTable (ID1,ID2,SomeData)
SELECT TOP 100000 ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY o1.name),
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY o2.name),
o2.name
FROM sys.all_objects o1
CROSS JOIN sys.all_objects o2
GO
-- Create View
CREATE VIEW SampleView
WITH SCHEMABINDING
AS
SELECT ID1,ID2,SomeData
FROM dbo.mySampleTable
GO
-- Create Index on View
CREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX [IX_ViewSample] ON [dbo].[SampleView]
(
ID2 ASC
)
GO
-- Select from view
SELECT ID1,ID2,SomeData
FROM SampleView
GO
Let us check the execution plan for the last SELECT statement.
You can see from the execution plan. That even though we are querying View and the View has index, it is not really using that index.
In the next post, we will see the significance of this View and where it can be helpful.
Meanwhile, I encourage you to read my View series: SQL SERVER – The Limitations of the Views – Eleven and more….

SQL SERVER – ORDER BY ColumnName vs ORDER BY ColumnNumber: "
I strongly favor ORDER BY ColumnName.
I read one of the blog post where blogger compared the performance of the two SELECT statement and come to conclusion that ColumnNumber has no harm to use it. Let us understand the point made by first that there is no performance difference.
Run following two scripts together:
USE AdventureWorks
GO
-- ColumnName (Recommended)
SELECT *
FROM HumanResources.Department
ORDER BY GroupName, Name
GO
-- ColumnNumber (Strongly Not Recommended)
SELECT *
FROM HumanResources.Department
ORDER BY 3,2
GO
If you look at the result and see the execution plan you will see that both of the query will take the same amount of the time.
However, this was not the point of this blog post. It is not good enough to stop here. We need to understand the advantages and disadvantages of both the methods.
Case 1: When Not Using * and Columns are Re-ordered
USE AdventureWorks
GO
-- ColumnName (Recommended)
SELECT GroupName, Name, ModifiedDate, DepartmentID
FROM HumanResources.Department
ORDER BY GroupName, Name
GO
-- ColumnNumber (Strongly Not Recommended)
SELECT GroupName, Name, ModifiedDate, DepartmentID
FROM HumanResources.Department
ORDER BY 3,2
GO
Case 2: When someone changes the schema of the table affecting column order
I will let you recreate the example for the same. If your development server where your schema is different than the production server, if you use ColumnNumber, you will get different results on the production server.
Summary: When you develop the query it may not be issue but as time passes by and new columns are added to the SELECT statement or original table is re-ordered if you have used ColumnNumber it may possible that your query will start giving you unexpected results and incorrect ORDER BY.
One should note that the usage of ORDER BY ColumnName vs ORDER BY ColumnNumber should not be done based on performance but usability and scalability.
It is always recommended to use proper ORDER BY clause with ColumnName to avoid any confusion.
