Hi Dan,
Tha cxommand-line version of SQL Compare (sqlcompare.exe) will do this right out of the box, so to speak. There is a command available called /makesnapshot that will create a file representation of the schema of the database specified in the /db1: argument. -
Can i run this tool on the customers site without breaking the license i have?
-
anyone want's to reply to my question?

Hi there,
the command line tools are subject to the same licence conditions as the graphical tools. You will be able to create snapshots on your customer's site during the 2 week trial period. After that you will need to get a licence for them to carry on using either SQL Compare ot SQL Compare Command Line.
Thanks,

There are special instructions for getting the command-line version of the tool to run at the customer site without having to burn up another licence activation. You'll find these in the SQL Compare help file.

Hi Dan,
Type 'distributing applications' in the SQL Compare help file's index. That will take you straight to the relevant topic.

since on these cases i don't care about the customers data and i don't need to move it from the customer to the dev server just for structural comparison, i was wondering if there is a utility that will allow me to run it on the customers server and it will create a snapshot of my selected DB that then i will be able to take the snapshot to sql compare and use it.
