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
