It would be helpful to provide the capability to examine two objects within the same database.
I've worked over many years with multiple teams and I observe the same phenomenon. The proliferation of OLD, _BAK, _20191123, _ETC objects as developers try out new things for all sorts database artifacts; Tables, Views, Sprocs, etc. I would find it immensely helpful to compare two such artifacts, TABLE and TABLEOLD (for example) to see what has been changed.

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.

Compare based on Selected Schema
I would be ideal if there was the ability to compare just a single Schema in databases. Example, exclude all dbo object and just include all objects in the XX schema. This would speed up the compare, as we would only be comparing objects in the XX schema and ignoring the 10K objects in the dbo schema.

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.

Search within objects
Compare already has a search filter, however it would be great if you could also search within the objects and not just by the object names.

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

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"

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.

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.

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:

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…

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 -
Option to Ignore Temporal/History Table
It would be handy to have an option to ignore Temporal/History table configuration when comparing two like databases where one has had some tables configured as temporal with a history table. This would be helpful to isolate any other changes outside of the temporal/history configuration.

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.

Melhorar o uso de memória
Cada vez que é feita uma comparação de database aumenta o uso da memória. Só liberar a memória quando sai e volta pra aplicação.
