SQL Development

Database Management
The solution incorporates schema and data comparison tools, enabling users to identify and manage differences in database schemas and table data.

Also, dbForge Edge delivers Source Control, an integrated tool that enables version control of database schemas and static data, available for MariaDB, MySQL, and SQL Server databases. With its help, users can compare database versions, commit and revert changes with dependency awareness, view and resolve conflicts, and examine the history of changes. Source Control supports all popular version control systems, such as Git (including GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, and Bitbucket), Apache Subversion (SVN), TFVC, Mercurial (Hg), Perforce (P4), and SourceGear Vault.
