Include new functions, views and stored procedures in "use DROP and CREATE"
Would like to include newly defined views, functions and stored procedures when dropping objects in deployment script. Currently, if you create a new stored procedure, then do the compare, it only does a CREATE in the script even if you have "use DROP and CREATE" selected as an option. I have to manually add the drop commands to the script so that it can truly be executed multiple times if needed.

Allow indexes to be excluded by filtering
I have 2 databases - production, and archive. Archive has all the indexes of production (starting with "IX") but also has some archive only ones (starting with "AIX"). Would be nice if I could add a filter to "exclude indexes starting with 'AIX-'" to my comparison - currently I have to export to a script, and manually delete all the "drop index AIX_..." sections.

Sort objects in deployment script
As per:
https://forum.red-gate.com/discussion/85655/feature-request-sort-objects-in-deployment-script
When generating the sql compare deployment script - all objects are scripted in a seemingly random order.
This could be covered by an option to enable/disable it.
And obviously, there is a dependency order which much take priority first. But after that all objects should be scripted in alphabetical order.
Use case for this is generating the same update script multiple times and committing it to source control. If this is done during a RC phase, the later iterations of the script will be 90% the same with minimal differences.
Currently as it stands, objects get moved…

Status Messages Covering Server Names
Currently the status messages in the UI for things like Updates to the application show up as blue ribbons that COVER THE SERVER NAMES. That's annoying. The choice are to be reminded again later or skip the message or whatever. But the location for the status message should not cover the server names. Could you kindly move it someplace else? Thanks.

More in-depth documentation of how SQL Compare works
Hello
It would be great if there is documentation that explains how SQL Compare works. Everything I came across so far explains what it does but I didn't find the actual internals of it. I am particularly interested in how SQL Compare handles the dependencies between various objects. For example, how can it create a view before creating the tables the view is using?

No carriage returns when copying TRIGGERS text from SQL View
When copying text from the SQL View panel, in the resulting clipboard text all carriage returns are missing. A trigger of a few lines of text becomes just one single long line.
This only happens for texts in the TRIGGERS part, not in the texts of create table, constraints, permissions or functions. There are no visible differences between these texts when looking at the SQL View panel, all texts look normal so this seems like a bug.
It's quite annoying when you quickly want to fix a small difference, or just want to copy text; you have to step through…

Option to omit schema from filename created with SQL Compare
When the target of the compare is a scripts folder, SQL Compare will create new items with the schema name as part of the file name, such as "person.Contact.sql".
Could this be made optional?
It doesn't affect the filename when altering, only creating.
This behaviour causes us issues because we use Visual Studio database projects where the schema is part of the path, not the filename. For example such as "AdventureWorks\Person\Tables\Contact.sql"1 vote -
Source and Target script folder source should stay with their currently selected path instead of switching to the last used on either side.
This was the behavior in previous versions (at least it was for SQL Compare 10) and not sure when it was changed. But constantly switching folder paths make it error-prone and annoying. As an example, let's say I first chose Folder A/Folder B as Source and then Folder C/Folder D as Target. If I go back to source to pick another folder, now it points me to Folder C/Folder D instead of Folder A/Folder B as I originally selected.

SSMS integration - compare single object
hello, i appreciate that we only need this feature because my company's processes are lacking but what I would love to have is to be able to...
right-click an object in SSMS and click an option called something like 'compare against other environment'.
it would then bring up a message box where you could browse an object-explorer for the corresponding object.
the use cases I see all the time for this are
- when people have stored procs next to each other called
spSomeProc
spSomeProcv2
spSomeProcnew
spSomeProc.oldetc on the same database.

pin "object definition box"
Allow for pinning of the Object Definition Box so that it is always visible.
It would be nice if you could make the ODB (that's what I'm calling it from now on) could be pinned or made to float so that I could reference it as i type.
The object explorer does provide the same functionality... technically but its nice have the "source" immediately visible as opposed to the multiple folders in the Object Explorer.

Option to ignore preserving data when adding a NOT NULL column to a table
SQL Compare tries to preserve data from table when adding a new NOT NULL column and adds below steps to deployment script:
1. Create a new table B with same structure from original table A
2. Perform INSERT INTO table B SELECT * FROM Table A
3. DROP Table A
4. Rename Table B to Table AThe issue:
For example if we add a new column to a ETL table with 1M rows. We don't need data to be preserved since table gets populated during ETL process. The deployment script without manually remove INSERT statement will take a very…5 votes -
Allow the scripting of individual sql objects
optionally have the ability script out all individual objects, rather having one monolithic deployment script, from the source that are unmatched or have diffs on the target. In my case I have a git repo that needs to brought up to date from a production server (a bit of a reverse of the usual workflow)
