DB Ghost is not another Red Gate SQL Compare clone - it's the enabler for a real SQL change management process.
It does things properly and as such isn't a “get out of jail free card” like a visual compare and sync tool.
Instead it provides a solution that never gets you near the jail in the first place.
Great software is created by developers however, during the development life cycle things can get messed up, especially with the SQL code.
We’re here to make sure that they don’t.
You could be the best coder in the world but getting your stuff out there and working is only as good as the weakest link in the chain
- if that's your SQL change management process then we can help.
Customer quotes
"Change Manager was the only product we tested that successfully produced a single script to create the DB + Metadata + Data that actually passed Management Studio’s ‘Parse’, followed by with a flawless ‘Execute’, very impressive."
Anton Schnider
"The performance is phenomenal! If DB Ghost can deal with a database of our size and complexity it can deal with *any* database!"
Mike O'Brien
"The delta generation has been rock solid. I was really worried about that when we first put it in. We run the generated script against client databases in the field to bring them up to the current schema and a lot has changed between releases (it’s a phased roll out with major components added). Never a hiccup in that SQL."
Andy Barnhart
"Top stuff and I must say DB Ghost is now a mission critical part of our development lifecycle. Couldn't live without it! Keep up the good work"

White Paper
Read our database change management white paper.
Let me take you on a short journey to where I believe we can get you.
Developers making changes to files within source control, never having to worry about anything outside of their desktop.
Build processes taking all the source code, creating baseline versions and verifying that the code is sound.
Deploying those known versions to test or UAT where bugs can be raised against them.
Back to developers to fix those bugs.
Developers being able to quickly get the exact code base the testers were using and re-creating the bugs.
Now it’s easy to fix the bugs within the files, test against the latest code and check in.
Finally, when the green light is given – a baseline of code is delivered to the live systems and
everyone knows exactly what is in the system because anyone can get the exact same code base from source control.
And the process can repeat again, and again and again and no matter how much time has moved anyone can get any
version of the software at any time with a full audit trail.
Sound familiar? Maybe, but probably not for SQL code.
We aim to change that and make SQL code control easy, intuitive and fast. From developer through to live...
...in the words of one of our customers – “it just works”
Mark Baekdal – CEO and co-founder of Innovartis.
We help developers to:
- Leverage their source control for all their SQL code
- Bring SQL code into their repeatable build process
- Deliver SQL code to all the other parts of the software development life cycle
- Create a framework that is repeatable, fully auditable and robust
- Avoid wasting time using visual database comparison and synch tools
For SQL Server 2000, 2005 and 2008.
