Question

I need to update the SQL SERVER stored procedure on three different servers. I do not like to perform this manually. What are my options?

Answer 1

You can use the SQLCMD utility to connect to the three different servers / databases and run the stored procedure script. The control script may look something like this:

:connect server1
use DatabaseName
GO
:r StoredProcedure.sql
GO

:connect server2
use DatabaseName
GO
:r StoredProcedure.sql
GO

:connect server3
use DatabaseName
GO
:r StoredProcedure.sql
GO

SQL Compare is a great tool, especially for large or complex updates. However, you do have to pay for it. Using a utility like SQLCMD is not quite so elegant, but it is quick and free.
