Prevent ProjectGuid changes in RedGateDatabaseInfo.xml (conflict with SQL Source Control)
We use both SQL Compare and SQL Source Control to track schema changes. When you update scripts using SQL Compare, it sets the ProjectGuid property in the RedGateDatabaseInfo.xml file. When you check in changes using SQL Source Control, it removes the ProjectGuid from the file. This creates extra work because source control indicates there are differences or conflicts when this is the only change. It would be helpful if the two tools functioned the same.

Add a possibility to update all installed Redgate tools
I have installed the SQL Toolbelt and I would like to update all its components in one shot. Currently, It is possible only by downloading the setup of Toolbelt from Redgate site and "re-installing" the products.
When I go to Help->Check Updates for particular component, let's say SQL Compare, only this component can be updated. And mostly I have to close All my SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) session and Visual Studio (VS) Sessions for the
update, which is time-consuming, but I guess makes sense.But after this, I start again all my SSMS and VS sessions and When I…

Autofill fields for "Create new snapshot" using the other database selected
The source for create new snapshot defaults to database. Automatically populate Server, Authentication, Database and New Snapshot name using the Database information on the other side of the compare window.
Customizable name tags for the new snapshot name would be perfect: [SERVER][DATABASE][DATETIME].snp

Install update ribbon obscures the 'to and from' database machine name
With a deadline looming I needed to do a comparison, but I could not see the 'to and from' database machine name until I installed the update. It was hidden underneath the ribbon.

CSV should use entirely empty value (no "") for null
Current behaviour: the CSV file represents null as the 8-character string “<NULL>” . e.g. If I have a table with an integer primary key column id, a varchar column a, and a varchar column b, and the table has one newly-inserted row (1, NULL, “asdf”), the CSV file would look like this:
o “Type”,”idk”,”as”,”at”,”bs”,”b_t”
o “In1”,”1”,”<NULL>”,””,”asdf”,””Desired behaviour: allow the CSV file to represent null as a completely empty entry. E.g. the CSV file would look like this:
o “Type”,”idk”,”as”,”at”,”bs”,”b_t”
o “In1”,”1” ,, ””,”asdf”,””Suggested options:
1) Command line switch toggling between…

Create a snapshot of target database before deployment
I usually create a snapshot of the target database before each deployment so I can compare again later to see the changes or generate a reversal script on selected objects. Please add the option to the Deployment wizard alongside "Back up target before deployment"

Be more robust in the face of Transport Errors
Data Compare almost always fails because of frequent (but short) network outages. If we could specify a long timeout, that would solve this problem.

Column Filters
In the results grid, give the ability to filter the results instead of having to sort, great example is the schema column, let us filter by schema instead of having to sort and then scroll to find the schema we want to look at.

Add an option to the behavior section to include SORT_IN_TEMPDB = ON on all of the CREATE INDEX statements.
For those of us working with data warehouses, using SORTINTEMPDB is the default behavior we need.

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…
