Delta Snap is a free tool we provide allowing you to create SQL Delta snapshots of a database schema without the need to install SQL Delta. Delta Snap is typically run as a command line process, often on a schedule. Optionally Delta Snap can email the resulting file to a specific email address.

Why would I use Delta Snap?

If you need to compare remote SQL databases however you cannot get physical network access to the database you can create a snapshot of the database structure and then use the snapshot in a comparison. By using Delta Snap you can now install a lightweight snapshot tool on your remote site, run the snapshot generation on a scheduled basis and then have the snapshot emailed to you.

Delta Snap was formerly called SQL Schema.

The full version includes parts of SQL Delta needed to read the SQL schema and save the schema as a snapshot. In most cases you would download and use the full install.
