Backup database structure only

Sometimes you need to back up the database structure (schema) only – it can be because you simply would like to maintain an audit trail of database schema changes or because you need to compare the schemas of two databases that you can’t access directly from one location.

Whatever your reasons maybe xSQL Object provides the ideal solution to accomplish this – with a click you can take a snapshot of the SQL Server database schema. The schema snapshot contains all the schema information but no data and consequently is a very small size file. You can then use xSQL Object to compare this schema snapshot to other snapshots or to live databases and see exactly what changed from one schema version to another.
