SQL Dry Runs with SQL Simulator
My name is Weston Goodwin. I created a tool called SQL Simulator which allows you to do Dry Runs with your SQL Scripts. The reason I created the tool was because I wanted to verify that my SQL scripts did what I thought they would do without executing them against the database. It is similar in concept to Redgate SQL Clone or Windocs. If you are not familiar with these tools they make clones of your database. The key difference with SQL Simulator is, it only makes a clone of the database objects affected by your sql script, not the entire database. Nor does it copy the entire table (if your…
In plain words
SQL Simulator is a development tool that lets users test SQL scripts safely before running them against production databases. It creates clones of only the database objects affected by a script, rather than entire databases, then executes the script against the clone to verify results. Currently supporting Oracle and SQL Server, it helps developers confirm their SQL scripts perform as intended without risking actual data.

My name is Weston Goodwin. I created a tool called SQL Simulator which allows you to do Dry Runs with your SQL Scripts. The reason I created the tool was because I wanted to verify that my SQL scripts did what I thought they would do without executing them against the database. It is similar in concept to Redgate SQL Clone or Windocs. If you are not familiar with these tools they make clones of your database. The key difference with SQL Simulator is, it only makes a clone of the database objects affected by your sql script, not the entire database. Nor does it copy the entire table (if your sql has where clauses). Once those database objects have been cloned, SQL Simulator then executes your script against the cloned database it created. This software is only compatible with Oracle and SQL Server at the present time. My plan is to make it compatible with more databases in the future.

Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported…
