Data Compare allows comparing custom query execution results rather than comparing entire tables or views. This capability provides a more flexible approach to data comparison with the following benefits.
Flexible comparison scenarios: The comparison of custom query results helps you examine and analyze the exact data subsets you are interested in. After all, a query is a perfect way to put forth any required comparison scenario with maximum flexibility.
Data validation: Data Compare helps validate the accuracy and consistency of your data. By comparing the expected results with the actual query output, any discrepancies or anomalies can be promptly identified and addressed.
Effective troubleshooting: When troubleshooting data-related issues or investigating discrepancies, a simple comparison can assist in identifying specific data subsets or conditions that may be causing the problem.
Actionable insights for data analysis: Similarly, you can run comparisons to gain a better understanding of patterns and trends in your data. This may be helpful in the subsequent data analysis.
