Allow resizing the window from a remote desktop
When remote using Windows Remote Desktop, the main application window is not resizable. The resize cursor does not show when hovering over the edges or corners, and I cannot click and drag to change the size.

Compare (and migrate) Database Diagrams
I'd love to see a function in SQL Compare to compare and migrate Database Diagrams. Especially between servers, but certainly on the same server.
We use them all the time to work on the structure of the of our databases and I'd love to be able to see the same diagram when I'm working in Prod and Test as I do in Dev without having to bring the changes across manually.
The code (for the easy case) is pretty simple.
UPDATE MyDB.dbo.sysdiagrams
SET definition = (
SELECT definition
from MyOtherDB.dbo.sysdiagrams
WHERE name = MyDB')
WHERE name = 'MyDB'17 votes -
ignore constraints
Option to ignore missing default constraints. Often when comparing two table defs, I want to see if columns or data types have changed but am not concerned at that moment about default constraints. Would like to see an option to ignore missing contraints.

compare two different commits from GIT

Currently this requires cloning a second repository to perform the compare.

Avoid creation of Recovery tables
Please give an option to ignore Recore tables creation. I am trying to use SQLCompare in DevOps model to avoid long release timings. But if there is any data type change to a huge table then current concept of creation of recovery tables is disabling all the FK's, removing indexes and eventually creating a new table. This is very long process and not benefitting the projects. There should be an option to avoid the creation of Recovery tables. Please think in that perspective.

New Option to Ignore Statistics_Incremental
I would love to have the option to ignore the StatisticsIncremental setting on indexes much the way "Ignore StatisticsNoRecompute" works. I currently have two DBs - one has this option on all indexes and one has it on none. Currently SQL Compare flags all indexes as different even with "Ignore Statistics" turned on. The only option is to ignore Indexes entirely which isn't practical because those are the most frequently changing objects between the DBs. I'm currently still using SQL Compare 10 because it does not pick up the Statistics_Incremental option but I would love to be able…

SSIS package compare
I would like to suggest that SQL compare tool also have to support SSIS package compare. Currently I am at the position that I have to compare SSIS packages between two servers and find out if any SSIS packages missing plus if any SSIS packages on old version etc. Currently I am talking about SSIS packages reside in MSDB but even if it can be compare between file system, that will be great.

Ignore Database Name in Stored Procedures, Views, and Functions
We have 3 environments for one of our core applications. Each environment has a different database name: dbproto, dbuat, and db_live for an example.
We keep all the SP, Views, and Functions we develop in a separate database so at no time do we alter the database supplied by the vendor. This database name is the same in all three environments.
Because of the name difference for the vendor database all the SP, Views, and Functions are flagged as different. The only difference for 95%+ of them have is the database name (eg dbproto vs dbuat).

Excluding a user should also exclude their mappings to roles
Using SQL Compare version 11 for Microsoft SQL Server, I can exclude a user from the schema comparison:
<exclude>Role:MyCustomUser</exclude>
This works fine for excluding the user.
However, the comparison engine does not exclude the user's mapping to roles. The script includes sp_addrolemember commands for the excluded user.
When excluding a user, I expect their role assignments to also be excluded.
I suspect this behavior may exist with object exclusions for other object dependencies. Have not tested other scenarios.

Similar to other ideas, any project option to ignore should give ability not to display ignored option finds in comparison result
The project option gives you the ability to ignore based on certain filters e.g. white space. However, if any other difference is found, when you display the comparison it highlights the things you told it to ignore. If in the case of white space, every line shows a highlighted difference for a white space difference, but the one actual difference you are looking for is impossible to find without scanning the whole comparison. Ignore should give you the ability to ignore in the comparison view also (for any ignore project option).

Colors and screen format need help
Main window which displays comparison results needs more color so differences standout. Little black boxes to indicate same, differences, left, right are not easy to quickly focus on. Must be a bug with the window sizing. Cannot size comparison results screen which spreads all content out and server/db for source and target at opposite sides of my 24' monitor. Can't size columns either.

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…

Ability to define two SQL logins as being the same
We have separate SQL Server service accounts for each environment. For example, saSQL01prod and saSQL01test and saSQL01dev. We want to ensure that the same permissions in PROD exist in TEST. However, now, SQL Compare wants us to create the saSQL01prod account and remove the saSQL01test account to equalize.
What we wish to happen is that it compare the permissions of the saSQL01prod account in our PROD environment to the saSQL01test account in our TEST environment and generate the compare based off that.
For example, saSQL01…

compare multple databases
I'm going through an exercise of determining object changes between versions of an app suite containing 55 databases.
It would be nice to be able to specify which databases to compare during a single run instead of processing it one database at a time.12 votes -
Let SQL Compare adopt the Comparison Options of Source Control Source
Unfortunately SQL Compare does not adopt the Comparison Options specified by the Source (here git repository created by SQL Source Control) which are saved in "ComparisonOptions.xml" in the git repository. Instead in SQL Compare I have to click on "Edit project" -> "Options" and check again "Ignore users' permissions and role memberships". This feels somehow not intuitive. During setup of the SQL Compare project a checkbox "adopt comparison options from source" would be nice - or maybe an "adopt" button just after setup.
I saved the SQL Compare project as an .scp file which in fact is an XML file.…
