What do you mean by "same output" ? I have too much data to go through and check if all the data is the same. This is my problem. Sampling would speed this up, but I need something more accurate. All data is important.
In Unix / Linux, you would generate similar plain-text output before and after the migration ("select *" to file, any report, ...) and then compare them, typically using "diff". If the format differs on intention (more/fewer columns, sequence of columns, ...), you would include "sed" or some other filter to align the two. As a last resort, you would write some small script (Perl, shell, ...) to compare them.
For me, it is a very common task to take the output of two different versions of something (a build log, a trace from a run, the log of a backup run, ...) and compare them via such a tool chain.
As you mentioned C#, I take it you are on Windows - pick your equivalent available.
