RE: Database Comparison
I've had some problems with the Change Manager. For some databases it doesn't see any of the objects that would fall in the last few item categories in the navigator pane on the left - including tablespaces. There is a bug with the JVM, sometimes the Oracle Java tool colours go beserk (fluorescent) and in one occation the window positioning was completely off. I use 1024x768 desktops on some NT servers. Sometimes the whole graphic column that shows checkmarks or crosses in comparison reports appears in the upper left corner of the screen instead of where it should be. These are probably all related to the same known bug for the JVM display functions. The reports also are extensive, I don't know if it is possible to tell Change Manager to only put in reports just the information you want. Internet browsers are not happy with HTML files that are megabytes in size, they take a long time to load. The Change Manager is faster if run on the console holding the repository than from a remote client. I recommend running it from the OEM repository console if at all possible, to avoid network trips as the Change Manager stores information into the repository. There will be enough networking going on with it comparing two remote systems. Would anyone care to share tips on how to use Change Manager appropriately? Did you find any problems with Change Manager, are there any differences it did not catch?

RE: Database Comparison
Hi Boivin and Fellow Listers, I have been using Oracle change manager to compare the two diff databases and 2 diff schemas for quite some time. Basically I use it compare prodcution and development and test databases/schema.The initial setup is little bit tedious. First a repository has to be created in a seperate machine, and then using the discovery wizard we have to discover the nodes. We must make sure that Oracle agent is up and running in the target m/c. After that we have to launch the console and to be frank with you I have not got into the small details of display, but I feel this tool is quite easier. The major hurdle I faced is when applying the changes of one schema to another. Change manager will generate the change scripts, this is generated in TCL/TK. So one must be familiar with these also. Also if any errors are encountered this scripts halts and also this script deletes any data and referential integrity constraints. So I generate the required reports and do the changes manually either in SQL*Plus. I also keep a log while doing the changes.

RE: Database Comparison
Srini, I would suggest going to http://www.toadsoft.com and downloading the freeware version in order to use the Schema Compare tool. All it would require would be a database link between your Production DB and your QA DB, or vice-versa. It will show you all object differences.
