How can I automate the SqlCompare which compares and synchronizes the databases on different servers to run nightly?. Can you provide me a link or brief steps on how to handle this?

you can run this from a .bat or .cmd file as a scheduled task
inside the task just do something as follows:
this will then perform the sync. Alternatively you could do this via CI system and call the same type of command via msbuild
That may not be the right tool for the job SQLCompare is only concerned with schema, which can have some unfortunate effects on your data. Consider if you change columns, RedGate will either
- work (when growing a size or something),
- drop the column (when changing a data type) or
- fail (what it should normally do).
It sounds like what you want is a nightly replication scheme, which will preserve the data as well as the schema.
I just solved this problem myself. In my case, I have people that monkey around in the database unbeknownst to me and break the app. Unfortunately I cannot get them to stop playing in the database so I wrote a simple program in C#. It executes the SQL Compare command and looks in the response string for 'The selected objects are identical'. If it doesn't find this, it emails me to notify me that something is up. I used Windows Scheduler to schedule it for the morning and afternoon.
It's not the most elegant solution but it works.
If you'd like to use a CI server to achieve this, you can now do this using the newly released CI command line and build script sample files available on http://www.red-gate.com/ci
For TeamCity users, there's a custom plugin.
These are free downloads, although bear in mind that you'll need the appropriate Red Gate license to use this beyond the trial period.
You might try automation software to kick it off nightly using either the scheduler or a trigger. Automation Anywhere is good for this. Let me know if you want more info or just google it. -Tom

I am using Red-Gate's software: http://www.red-gate.com
I use schema and data comparison functionality built into the latest version Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition (Free) or Professional / Premium / Ultimate edition. Works like a charm!
Red-Gate's SQL data comparison tool is my second alternative:
(source: spaanjaars.com)
I like Open DBDiff.Updated Open DBDiff Link
It's not the most complete tool, but it works great and it's free. And it's very easy to use.
SQL Admin Studio from http://www.simego.com/Products/SQL-Admin-Studio is now free, lets you manage your SQL Database, SQL Compare and Synchronise, Data Compare and Synchronise and much more. Also supports SQL Azure and some MySQL Support too.
[UPDATE: Yes I am the Author of the above program, as it's now Free I just wanted to Share it with the community]
I'm partial to AdeptSQL. It's clean and intuitive and it DOESN'T have the one feature that scares the hell out of me on a lot of similar programs. One giant button that it you push it will automatically synchronize EVERYTHING without so much as a by-your-leave. If you want to sync the changes you have to do it yourself and I like that.
There is one tool with source code available at http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/205011/SQL-Server-Database-Comparison-Tool
That should give flexibility as code is available.
dbghost is the best i have used to date. one of the best features i have seen is that it will generate SQL code to go between versions of a database based on the SQL you keep in source control, as well as a database. simple and easy to use.
I've used SQL Delta before (http://www.sqldelta.com/), it's really good. Not free however, not sure how prices compare to Red-Gates
Try DBComparer, it's free and fast:
Database Workbench can made it too
Cross database development
Use the Schema Compare and Migration Tools to compare testing and deployed databases, migrate existing databases to different database systems.
you can also made it with database Comparer
I use it for Firebird and it works well.
Try dbForge Data Compare for SQL Server. It can compare and sync any databases, even very large ones. Quick, easy, always delivers a correct result.Try it on your database and comment upon the product.

Redgate Sql Data Compare Problems
We are using an inhouse developed solution that is basicly a procedure with arguments of what you want included in the comparision (SP's, Full SP code, table structure, defaults, indices, triggers. etc)
Depending on your needs and budget, it might be a good way to go for you as well.
It is quite easily developed as well, then we just redirect output of procedure to textfiles and do text comparisions between the files.
One good thing about it is that its possible to save the output in source control.

I've used Red Gate's tools and they are superb.However, if you can't spend any money you could try Open DBDiff to compare schemas.
I would definitely go with AdeptSQL if you're using MSSQL. It's the least good looking but the most talented db compare tool amongst the ones I've tried. It can compare both the structure and the data. It tells you which tables exist on one db but does not exist on the other, compares the structure and data of the common ones and it can produce the script to synchronize the two. It's not free but has a 30 day trial (as far as I can remember)
I tried OpenDiff Tool . Great tool that is free and easy to use .
