  1. Provide screen zoom capability (CTRL+ScrollWheel). This would help support 508 compliance.

    SQL Data Compare report output can be hard to read on a small laptop screen. Zoom capability with horizontal/vertical scroll capability would be helpful for viewing report output on smaller screens.

  2. Create an option to change the direction of the update in a project without having to re-build the project

    I sometimes need to make changes to both the From database and the To database, it would be useful to be able to change the direction of the deployment script after having completed the comparison of the data. This would be useful in the SQL Compare tool as well.

  3. table Id

    I am trying to compare only 1 field in the 2 tables, BUT the Id of the table is included anyway in the compare. That makes the compare result wrong. I expect identical in the result, but because the Id is included then the result is wrong. How can I remove the Id from compare?

  4. Behavior of "Escape" / "RETURN" for cancelling or accepting in any (modal) dialog

    hi there,

    i would like to have a continuous behavior throughout the whole application regarding "Escape" -> Cancel and "RETURN" -> Accept.

    Its basically the same like his idea:
    https://redgate.uservoice.com/forums/147879-sql-data-compare/suggestions/37568173-escape-to-close-value-details
    but everywhere in the whole Red-Gate ecosystem would be much appretiated.

    regards,
    Martin

  5. Ignore a column during comparison (BLOB) but include in Deploy

    We have certain tables with BLOBs (varbinary(max)) which takes ages to compare between two databases. But if i exclude this column for comparison, it wont appear in the deploy, which will fail (in my case) caus its "NOT NULL" column.

    In short:
    make an option to ignore columns on compare, but keep in deploy.

  6. Delete all rows or Truncate of target table

    to make a green field before compare. Mostly i use Data compare to refresh data from the live system to the dev/qa/... which is sometimes a mess. So i have to clear the target tables by hand before.

    This could be done in a global switch in "Edit project" -> "Options" but during the Deploy workflow I would remind the user and let him uncheck if required.

    Or at least make a clipboard copy for the scheme.tablename from the result window to make a manual truncate easier.

  9. Add sort by selected in Dialog "Edit project" under "Tables & views"

    Its time consuming to scroll down to find the 5 checked tables within 400 tables in total. Please create some kind of a group/sort to show the selected on top or provide another toggle checkbox to show only the selected ones or all
