DBExplorer is a database utility that allows you to compare any two databases and report the structural and data differences between them. It then enables you to synchronize the differences between them. This can be done with selected fields and data. DBExplorer also lets you browse a database's schema and/or data. This provides a built-in reporting tool and an export-to-file feature so you can document the database schema and records. A SQL query wizard allows you to select particular columns and filter specific records. It can also generate SQL DDL scripts to reproduce or record the database structure. DBExplorer works with any OLE DB or ODBC compliant database which includes all the mainstream databases, including SQL server, Oracle, DB2, Access, and so on.

DBExplorer is designed to assist software developers, database administrators, and power users with determining the differences between different versions of a database and then managing the upgrade or synchronization process to bring an earlier version of a database up-to-date.
