    The ‘Ignore System named constraint and index names’ option should address this issue, unless I’ve misunderstood?

  3. It would help to have "use <<database>", where <<database>> is the db where you intend to load the sql appear in the object sync script

    We already have an option for this: If you look at the Project Options and choose “Add USE statement” that should do the job!

  4. Add an option to the filtering so that different aspects of objects can be ignored, e.g. ability to to ignore different permissions on an object.

    We have one database that has permissions set individually on objects, and another database with the 'same' objects, but they don't have any explicit permissions set, but SQL Compare consideres them different, so we currently have ~1700 objects with differences that are only 'user x has y permissions on this object'.

  5. If the only difference between two tables is column order, the the table shows under Identical Objects section. But if column order AND something else is different, the comparison window hilights the out-of-order column.

  8. In the excellent file comparison tool Beyond Compare from Scooter Software, there is a full width line comparison view across the bottom of both comparison panes. This is extremely useful when comparing long lines of text and saves scrolling left and right all the time.

    SQL Compare does have this functionality: If you click on the Show dropdown (just above the differences pane), and select Line Differences. Is this the behaviour you were looking for?

  9. Ability to format the source and destination code to ensure compare is using the same structure.
