Support for Replicated Databases
I would like to push schema changes to a transactionally replicated database. Now, SQL Compare breaks replication when I push schema changes. Please add support for sprepladdcolumn and sorepldropcolumn rather than ALTER TABLE.

Allow Comparison of CDC Objects
CDC (Change Data Capture) objects are currently excluded from comparison.
Because SQL Source Control uses SQL Compare behind the scenes, this means that CDC objects cannot be committed to source control, which in turn means that databases containing objects (e.g. views) which reference CDC objects cannot be deployed with SQL CI.
I don't believe that SQL Compare should compare CDC objects by default, but there should be an option to allow it.

Filter Extended Properties on other objects than databases
It would be great to be able to filter extended properties on other objects than databases. We only want to compare certain extended properties on tables, but the Extended Property Filter only works on database properties.
This is similar to this idea: https://redgate.uservoice.com/forums/141379-sql-compare/suggestions/5680027-ignore-extended-properties-created-by-the-view-des (which would be solved by filtering out "MS_DiagramPane1" on the view)
And suggestion #2 in this forum thread: https://forums.red-gate.com/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=77849&p=136399

Ability to add additional connection parameters
In SQL Server management studio you have the ability to add additional connection parameters however there is no ability to be able to specify these in SQL Compare. This is a problem in SQL 2012 when trying to connect to availability group listeners that have replicas in multiple subnets. In order to connect to the availability group listener you need to specify the “MultiSubnetFailover=True” connection property, otherwise it results in a 50/50 chance of connecting successfully.

Compare on object
Need an option/ability to re-compare just one object like table, procedure,view or function etc. If my database contains 1000+ objects, if I modify one of them, there should be right click re-compare menu to just re-compare that one object. Instead of comparing the whole database. Comparing whole database take a bit of time when work remotely. Even though I have filters, it takes quite a bit of time.

Make the Print Command on Deployment Scripts Optional
Hello,
We use your compare utility to deploy update's to our software. We have many many changes to our Tables/Views/Procs/etc.In each of our deployment scripts there is un-needed Print '......' & Go commands that we don't need.
It would be nice to have the option of not having these print commands

Make SQL Compare Three-part identifiers aware and filterable
Not always a deployed database has the same name of the source database due to customers' naming conventions. So it'd be great if SQL Compare will be three-part identifiers aware, so that if you compare the same table from different named databases as following:
SELECT *
FROM MyDatabaseA.MyTableSELECT *
FROM MyDatabaseB.MyTableSQL Compare will not show them as different if you want a three-part identifiers insensitive comparison.

Compare instance level information
Like configuration settings, security info (logins, server roles...), linked servers, jobs, SSIS catalog info for SQL2012 (folders, environments, security, projects, packages...) etc.

Compare tab contents!
I have yet to find a tool to compare the contents of two tabs in SSMS.
Ideal would be the ability to run an executable on the temfiles of two tabs. So the user could use diffmerge or whatever they liked, But any diff-function would be greatly appreciated.I don't know if SQL Compare is the right place, but it could be.

Add a Rollback Script Save option for both SQL Compare & Data Compare
In order to create a rollback script, we currently need to reverse the direction of deployment, save the rollback script, cancel the deployment, change the direction, then proceed with deployment in the correct direction. It would be great if the same screen on the Deployment Wizard would allow you to save BOTH a change script and a rollback script.

Reuse Open SSMS for deployment scripts
When selecting the option to open the deployment script in SSMS Compare opens a new instance of SSMS for each script that you generate.
In place of that would it be possible to open the scripts in an existing SSMS instance that is open already? This would make things a lot easier when generating multiple scripts.

Choose source control label as a version of a data source
Today, SQL Compare allows for two options when selecting a version of a source control data source - latest (head), or any other change set. It would be great if there was a third option: to select a version by label. We use labels as a means for controling which code is promoted from development to test to production. Anything ready to promote is labeled as “build ready.” It would be great to use this build ready label when selecting the version from the repository.

Allow SQL Compare to ignore difference due to ALTER and CREATE
When comparing a VS 2012 database project to a database, when the only difference is ALTER vs. CREATE (which happens because a stored procedure ALTER was executed directly, then saved) the comparison fails. An option to ignore this difference would be very handy.

Fix the installer. Could not install SQL Tool belt trial as Redgate Client service could not be stopped.
I tried to install the SQL Tool belt trial numerous times but was blocked each time saying the Redgate Client service could not be stopped. I tried to stop it manually but that did not work. I called support but they just sent an email telling me to stop the service. What part of "I can't stop the service" did they not understand?

Include a description of the active filter settings used for the comparison in the report output
When generating a comparison to validate/review a deployment, you may use a fairly complex filter to identify the objects to deploy.
If you generate a report to send/configure to a third party, the filter settings you used to generate the comparison are not shown/output (looking at the Active HTML output specifically, but may be true across other formats).
The criteria used for the comparison are integral to the information being generated and should therefore be represented.

Single object deployment
When you right click on an object to see the deployment script and other options, include options for running immediately the script to target database. (to make it more interesting,to run the change script to any of the 2 compared databases).
Also, this should be dome on the right and left scripts at the bottom of the page.

Make the script for execution writable
Make the script for execution writable. It would be faster to be edited in you editor that is already connected to the target database and saves time . The alternatives (save or copy) are more time consuming
