How to compare SQL server stored procedures from two separate databases?

Is there a straight forward way or a tool to compare SQL server database objects, such as stored procedures located in separate databases?

Well, the way that I always do it is to use the RedGate SQL Compare tool. www.red-gate.com. It works very nice and will compare everything, including permissions.

There are other ways, and Buck Woody (who I have seen around the forums) has an article here that covers it pretty well:

|||You can use Visual Studio Team System(VSTS) for Database professional. It is covered all the features of readgate and something extra.|||

I use the easiest/dumbest/cheapest way

Get SPs from both databases, and use free version of examdiff to compare them (or you can use Visual SourceSafe, etc..)

There are several free tools that do this. The one that I use is SQL Effects Clarity CE.

It compares tables, stored procedures, views, functions, users, roles, etc.

Hope this helps.
