Free schema snapshot utility: SQL Snapper

SQL Snapper is a free utility that creates a SQL Compare schema snapshot of a SQL Server database. This snapshot can then be used as a database source in Redgate's SQL Compare. You will find SQL Snapper useful when you have databases deployed at a customer's site, and you need to use SQL Compare to compare the schema of a remote databases with your reference database. If the remote database cannot be accessed from your machine, you can ask your customers to use SQL Snapper to create a SQL Compare snapshot of their database's schema, and send the snapshot file to you. You can then load the snapshot into SQL Compare, and generate the appropriate upgrade script for the customer.

This release of Snapper generates SQL Compare snapshots that work with SQL Compare 7.0 or later.

SQL Snapper can be found in your SQL Compare install director.y

    So, I am trying to run the latest SQL Snapper (stand alone) and it's not working. for version 12, this worked w/ just two files, (REDGATE.SQLSNAPPER.exe and RedGate.SOCCompareInterface.dll).  Today, with version 15, it just won't run.  It seems that none of the required assemblies were compiled into SQL SNAPPER (notice that the size of version 12 is 8.74MB, but the size of version 15 is only 240KB) I guess we will stick with version 12 for now when trying to get a snapshot at customers.

    Thanks
