I have a table job_order with column order_no in my store_db. Is there a way or query that I can compare if data from the order_no column matched with the same column but on a different database server?
Note that server1 and server2 has the same database. I would appreciate the help. Thank you!
Different approaches can be used to achieve the table comparison:
Create a Linked Server connection, then create a Stored Procedure that performs a comparison on the Target Server.
A wide option exists to achieve an effective table data comparison.

I have a situation where I need to extract tables from one SQL database into another SQL database. There are about 100+ tables.
I would like to create a parameterized script for the SELECT and FROM tables so that the one script can be used to loop through all the tables.
Is this possible? I would really appreciate any assistance.
I am creating database snapshot for reporting(creating a common demoralized table from normalized tables), for which I need to enter normalized tables modified values at the same time when the table modify. I want a common solution for this. Same is achievable using triggers but I am looking for some other generic solution which will work with any table change. Is there any other way in SQL server by which I can achieve the same?
I need to link data from a table in one sql connection to a table in another sql connection, and combine them to make one table (inner join).
How could I achieve it?
If you are trying to connect databases in two different servers,You can add of them as linked server.
Then you can access the data from that server, for example if you are adding server1,then you can access the table using the following query.
SELECT *
FROM server1.YourDatabaseName.YourSchemaName.YourTableName
If you wanted to access from a different Database of the same server.Then use the following code for accaeeing the table data.
SELECT *
FROM YourDatabaseName.YourSchemaName.YourTableName
I have two tables in different databases with different schema, how can I compare them both?
Let's say I have the DB1 with the table history.Table1 and another DB2 with the same table but in a different schema, backup.Table1.
Now I need to compare what's different besides the schema name obviously.
Try SQL Compare from Redgate. They allow you to compare pretty much everything from the actual data to the schema.
I dont believe there is any native functionality in sqlserver.

In sql if i had 2 databases where each had similar columns but not exactly the same schema , is there a built in way to alter the schema of a table in database2 make it similar to the schema in of a table database1?
considering that the column type and column name and default value are the factors to decide if 2 columns match.
No, there is no built in functionality for doing this, you will either have to do it manually or use a comparison tool such as RedGate SQL Compare or Visual Studio.
