Summary

Datafold has introduced support for Microsoft SQL Server, enabling users to perform data diffs both across and within SQL Server instances, which is especially useful for data teams transitioning from legacy systems to modern data infrastructure. The migration process often presents challenges such as technical difficulties in validating migrations, planning and identifying migration assets, and securing stakeholder approval. Datafold aims to ease these challenges by offering features like cross-database diffing for rapid validation of data parity and SQL translation to avoid the need for manual query rewriting. The new integration with SQL Server facilitates faster migration validation and ongoing data replication monitoring, providing enhanced visibility and assurance of data quality. Teams interested in making the transition or improving their data replication processes are encouraged to contact Datafold for further assistance.
