Re: iSeries SQL Diff/Compare Tool

What GUI differences were you hoping to see? A pie chart? Bar chart?
Scatter diagram?

How would you do this on other platforms? For example, on SQL Server
would you do something like:
SELECT prod.TABLE_SCHEMA, PROD.SYSTEM_TABLE_NAME, prod.ROW_LENGTH,
test.table_schema, TEST.SYSTEM_TABLE_NAME, test.row_length
FROM systables prod full join systables test using
(table_name)
where (prod.table_schema='PROD' or prod.table_schema is null)
and (test.table_schema='TEST' or test.table_schema is null)
order by prod.SYSTEM_table_name, test.SYSTEM_table_name

You can do that on the i.

But if you want more details, like that obtainable from DSPFD or DSPOBJD
to output files you can then query those.

Fire up System i Navigator and drill down into databases and then analyze
from there, or, if your definition of "GUI" is black lettering on white
background you can do that with the "Run SQL Scripts" part of iNav.
