I'm trying to sync two separate SQL Databases. One DB is running SQL Express
and the other is running SQL 2005 full version. I'm trying to update the
fields on the main DB with the development DB. Is there a better way to
handle this then doing it manually one table and stored procedure at a time?
Any recommendation or tools?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Have you thought of using replication?

Hi
It is usually best to build up schema change scripts as you go and then
apply them when you do a release. The products Aaron mentioned are two
possible solutions which are also mentioned on with a couple extra

there is also Nob Hill Database Compare
