dbForge Data Studio Question

cjkeller · Post by **cjkeller** » Thu 26 Jan 2012 00:39

The webpage for dbForge Data Studio states: (The data comparison functionality provided by dbForge Data Studio for SQL Server is similar to that provided by dbForge Data Compare for SQL Server Standard Edition.).

How similar is similar? I downloaded the Data Compare program and really like what it does. Does the Data Studio have the same capabilities or has it been 'dumbed' down to be in the studio. I like the Studio as I get a few more tools to use for a bit more money.

Thank you.

Thank you for your answer. I'll download the 30 day trial and see if it will do what I need to do as it has other tools I may find useful for my job.
