Schema Comparator Skill

Compares database schemas between source and target environments to identify differences and generate migration scripts.

Purpose

Enable database migration planning for:

Schema diff generation
Data type mapping
Constraint comparison
Index analysis
Migration script generation

Capabilities

1. Schema Diff Generation

Compare table structures
Identify column differences
Detect missing objects
Generate change reports

2. Data Type Mapping

Map types across databases
Handle type conversions
Identify precision changes
Document compatibility

3. Constraint Comparison

Compare primary keys
Analyze foreign keys
Check unique constraints
Verify check constraints

4. Index Analysis

Compare index definitions
Identify missing indexes
Analyze index usage
Recommend optimizations

5. Stored Procedure Comparison

Compare procedure signatures
Identify logic differences
Detect parameter changes
Flag deprecated procedures

6. Migration Script Generation

Generate DDL scripts
Create rollback scripts
Handle dependencies
Order changes correctly
