Diffinity

Diffinity is a C# library and NuGet package for comparing database objects—such as stored procedures, views, and tables—between two SQL Server databases. It identifies differences and optionally applies changes to synchronize the objects. The library also supports generating detailed HTML reports summarizing the comparison, including links to view the source and destination definitions.

Project Story: Why Diffinity Was Created
Diffinity was born out of the need to efficiently compare and synchronize SQL Server database objects across different environments. Managing stored procedures, views, and tables manually between development, testing, and production can be error-prone and time-consuming. Nada Husseini and Najat Bdeir created this C# application to automate the detection of differences and generate clear HTML reports that make it easy to spot changes.

The project also provides an optional feature to apply updates automatically to the destination database, reducing human error and saving precious time during deployments. By offering a straightforward, configurable tool, Diffinity aims to help developers and DBAs maintain consistency across databases with confidence.
