It lets you identify differences between two datasets, whether they're in the same database or across different systems, without loading all data into memory. The tool is designed for data validation, synchronization checks, and quality assurance workflows where you need to verify that data matches between sources.\n\nThe package depends on dbt-core, click, pydantic, and several other libraries for database connectivity, data parsing, and terminal output formatting. It supports Python 3.10 through 3.14 and is classified as pre-alpha. The maintenance status is marked abandoned, though releases continue; the original repository is archived, so this fork's long-term viability depends on the maintaining organization.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need row-level database comparison and can tolerate the abandoned maintenance status. The package has low install friction, permissive licensing, and no known vulnerabilities. However, the abandoned status and archived upstream repository mean you should verify that the fork is actively maintained by the current publisher and plan for potential lack of future support or bug fixes."},"id":"collate-data-diff","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/collate-data-diff","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/collate-data-diff.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/collate-data-diff/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"collate-data-diff","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Command-line tool and Python library to efficiently diff rows across two different databases."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1092188,"position":4377,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.11.15"}
