Excluding a role in v. 14 should exclude its permissions as was the case for v. 13
Using the SQL Compare v. 13 CLI to exclude a role that exists only in the target database used to also skip permissions granted to that role. The resulting script did not revoke the role's permissions in the target. Now, in v. 14 (14.4.11.17350), excluding the role only keeps the role from being dropped. The resulting script revokes all permissions granted to that role in the target. We think this new behavior represents a defect that should be fixed. See my support request 225533. I am told there is a bug report that addresses this issue: SC-10183. However, I don't…

Include option to only include diffs
The idea here is produce a summary - that is the content focuses on the changes.
For example:
For new objects - indicate "new", with one-line description - but do not include definition
For deleted objects - indicate "removed"
For changed objects - only the show the "diff" with a little context instead of the complete definition.1 vote -
No error should be reported when two databases are identical
While using command line to generate a difference report (in html format), if the two databases are identical, the console output says:
Error: The selected objects are identical or no objects have been selected in the comparison. Use /include:Identical to suppress this error.
If I include the /include:Identical switch, then the error is not reported on the console, but the output html file has all the objects in it.
I don't want the console error as well as don't want the identical objects in the html file. This is what I want:
- Don't want to use the /include:Identical switch
- If…

Script Generation: Control over the sp_rename of a table
When you add a non nullable column in a table, there is a warning that the script can fail. The generated script will issue will try to help by removing all contraints, rename the table and recreate it. This cannot be done on large table (with data). The only choice I have is to add the column as nullable, add the initialisation in the script and make it not null after. So, I would like to accept the warning and to let the 'alter table add column' been generated with a comment in the generated script. I guess to work…

SQL Compare Timeout for batch jobs
We really need the ability to specify big timeout periods as we're dealing with large tables with breaking changes (adding constraints) which require rebuilding the table, and we have no luck completing the task due to short timeout in SQL Compare.

Enhance support for default constraints
I need to replicate a database for read-only reporting purposes and the production database is littered with all sorts of default constraints.
For example:
ALTER TABLE [schema].[table] ADD CONSTRAINT [DFtablecolumn] DEFAULT ('Unknown') FOR [column].
This is what the definition is in SSMS.In SQL Compare:
[column] [varchar] (15) COLLATE SQLLatin1GeneralCP1CIAS NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DFtable_column] DEFAULT -- No text is available,
Now the constraint fails AND the comma separator for the next line is missing.
Another fun one:
[SCD Surrogate Hash Key] AS (CONVERT([varbinary](64),hashbytes('SHA2_512',coalesce(CONVERT([varbinary](50),[column]),0x00)+0x0001))) PERSISTED NOT NULL,
And SQL Compare loses all track…

Don't use "Added" and "Removed" in the Comparison Results report
I just want to share the differences between two databases with the developer and will have to explain that added or removed does not mean that anything was actually added or removed yet.

Ability to safely edit the previous server lists
Please see this thread
https://forum.red-gate.com/discussion/comment/162865#Comment_162865
I would suggest that because the proposed solution requires knowledge and access to the Registry this should be a feature to edit the list.

SQL Search Right Click Modify
If would be handy in SQL Search to be able to right click/Modify instead of double clicking, waiting for what could be a last treeview list in SSMS to open, then having to right click/modify.

Support for Module Signing Comparison
Please could you consider adding support for the comparison of signatures between databases. Currently SQL Compare doesn't check for differences between module signatures, please refer to this forum post:
https://forum.red-gate.com/discussion/87404/module-signing-support
The consequence of this is that during deployment by SQL Compare, module signatures will be ignored, therefore causing deployed modules that depend on the signatures to fail during execution.
Additionally, should signatures be removed from a database using a command such as sp_refreshsqlmodule (which implicitly removes signatures), SQL Compare will not identify that the signatures have been removed.

index
SQL compare regularly identifies a difference between the same index between the same table stored on 2 different databases as it seems to get confused with a different index then says the the same index underneath the 'different' one, should be deleted! It must not compare on the name of the index but maybe an order? Is this a bug?

Option to ignore stats based on name
When recreating statistics that were "Auto Created" they now become non "Auto Created".
This means when comparing the database against the original, because SQL Compare doesn't display "Auto Created" statistics, it looks like there are loads of new statistics
I found this as I am trying to change collation of everything in a database and have to recreate the statistics.
Please can there be an option to ignore statistics if they match based on name and the only difference is "Auto Created"?

Add a keyboard shortcut to Next/Previous diff.
It would be nice to be able to navigate to the next diff (or previous) using a keyboard shortcut (e.g.: CTRL-N, F8, etc...)

Make script file an editable text file so we review, edit or programmatically generate the file.
Make script file an editable plain text file so we review, edit or programmatically generate the file.
Once the script file is used, there is no good way to retrieve what were included in that file, especially if the included objects have been removed.
It will help us keep track of changes across multiple scripts (SCP) over time.
Make it an option to compress it in case it is a large deployment.

Page Not Found error when I try to get details on updates
Getting page not found error again when I try to get full details for updates to SQL Compare. URL being hit is https://documentation.red-gate.com/display/SC14/SQL+Compare+14.3+release+notes.
I get the feeling that this needs to be added to the "new version number" checklist or something alone those lines. Had similar issue a few builds back.
