The free, open-source SchemaCrawler for SQL Server tool is desinged to
do just this. You can take human-readable snapshots of the schema and
data, for later comparison. Comparisons are done using a standard diff
tool such as WinMerge. SchemaCrawler outputs details of your schema
(tables, views, procedures, and more) in a diff-able plain-text format
(text, CSV, or XHTML). SchemaCrawler can also output data (including
CLOBs and BLOBs) in the same plain-text formats.
SchemaCrawler is available at SourceForge:
