File Compare/Diff Tools

Aqua Data Studio offers a File and Directory Compare Tool on Windows, Linux and OSX. Developers can quickly compare individual files quickly. The Directory Compare feature allows finding differences in the contents of directories. Splines within comparison results make it easy to spot the content differences. The results of the comparison can be saved as HTML.



Comparison tools include:

File Compare

The File Compare examines the contents of two individual files. The tool displays the differences by color coding the changes which makes it easier to spot the differences.screenshots File Compare Dialog | File Compare

Tabs Compare

You can easily do a side-by-side comparison of files opened in Aqua Data Studio. When two or more files are opened and you want to perform a comparison of files, a Select Tabs to Compare window is displayed and you can choose from the tabs list.screenshots Right Click Compare Menu | Select Tabs | Comparison Results

Annotation Bar

The annotation bar on the right side of the comparison results provides a bird's eye view of all the differences detected in a comparison operation. Color codes appear in the annotation bar on the right side of the results window to denote differences. You can quickly navigate to them using the annotation bar.screenshots File Compare - Annotation Bar

Compare Filters

You can add filters to the results of a comparison. Create new filters with the Filter Option and Enable/Disable them to get your preferred comparison results view. Filters for file/directory name and difference result (Both Different, Unique to Directory 1, Unique to Directory 2, or Both Equal) are particularly useful when a comparison result generates more differences than can be easily viewed and understood within a single window.screenshots Directory Compare Filters
