System and Method of Assessing the State of a Database Product for Installation Consistency

A computer-implemented system and method performs an iterative process to assess the installation of an upgrade version of a database product for consistency with a baseline version of the database product. To assess the installation, the baseline version and the upgrade version are reconciled by modifying one or both of the baseline and upgrade versions. The modified baseline and upgrade versions are then analyzed to determine whether any remaining inconsistencies exist. Any remaining inconsistencies are then identified and classified, and reconciled. Thereafter, the process is repeated iteratively until the upgrade version is reconciled with the baseline version.
