I have two database having identical schema and same table in both database. I want to iterate both database and want to compare each table in both database.

My problem: How to iterate both database and where to put if condition to check whether it is same table from both database or not.

What I have tried:

suppose there are test and live two database. In both tables there are three tables student, course, enrollment.

I want to put condition like :
If(table1==table2)
{
//code for comparison of tables.
}
where table1 is coming from test database and table2 is coming from live database.

I need some idea how to iterate both database to get name of table.

You can try DataTable.AsEnumerable().Except()
See example here: DataTable Comparison Using LINQ Except, Intersect and Union : www.dotnetmentors.com[^]
