Run SQL Compare on Linux/Mac

I know weird to with a MS SQL Server, but many people who have been on the platform for a while now have developers with Macs, and automation systems on linux. DLM Automation is pricing some of us out of the Redgate ecosystem. With SQL server now running on Linux seems a reasonable path. I sure hope our beloved sql compare is not going away :(

    Is there plans for a version for Oracle db running on Linux?
    we are using Linux containers(Docker) to run oracle for devs and it would be so helpful to run the tool with in the Linux container.

    CLI commands + a MacOs desktop app would be great. We have rich clients who can afford Macbooks you know ;-)

    We would love this, too. This would save time in not having to startup my Windows VM just for Redgate tools!

    CLI please. I create docker images of sql on linux for test data and SQL Compare CLI would be handy

    It's also worth noting that this would be a great service to development teams that choose/need to develop on MacOS/Linux and consequently have to live with the licensing costs of both the virtualization-software and their Windows-VM in order to keep using your tools with a product that is now arguably cross-platform.

    Another vote for CLI tools, no need for any GUI ports! Just make sure we're able to link/unlink static data, as this is currently only possible through the SSMS-plugin, and SSMS is not yet cross-platform either.

    Yes! Having the CLI commands on Linux would be perfect.

  • Michael Husler commented  ·   ·  Report

    A command-line SQL/Data Compare linux tool would be tremendous for us as well.

    It would for me! The tea leaves that I'm reading show a commitment by MS for running SQL on Linux. In my opinion, there should be options for third-party tooling to also run there. CLI fits very much within the Linux ethos, so I don't even think that'd be seen as a bad first step.
