In SQL Compare, have "SQL Prompt view tab" with SQL Prompt Professional licence, not just the SQL Toolbelt licence
We want to use the SQL Prompt view tab in SQL Compare, but you apparently specifically need the SQL Toolbelt or SQL Toolbelt Essential licence.
We don't have SQL Toolbelt (anymore), but we have both Redgate Deploy and SQL Prompt Professional, and i believe we also have all the tools shipped with SQL Toolbelt.
Can't this tab also be made available for people using Redgate Deploy and/or SQL Prompt Professional, as we have all the tools/software of the Toolbelt already (i guess), but the bundle is named different...?

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…

Don't prompt to save project when it's not dirty
Every time a SQL Compare project is closed, a modal dialog pops up to save unsaved changes every time, even if the project was just saved. This dialog should not pop up if the project is not dirty.

Pull filter from source controlled database
When comparing a source controlled database (SSC) to a live database, it would make sense to use the source controlled database's object filter (filter.scpf file) when running the comparison instead of having to manually recreate the filter inside of the SCP project. Also, it would be better if the SCP project stored a link to the filter file used instead of storing the filter string, as it is very inconvenient to have to maintain these separately. If the filter file is changed in SSC, I want SCP to be able to pick up the change automatically.

Ignore database variables used in Visual Studio Project
There are cases when for continuous intergration we use Visual Studio Project 2013 to build our databses. Sometimes we need to use database variables these look like: [$(DatabaseName)]. Though Visual Studio can recognize it as a variable, redgate will not and will output that as it is for deployment or comparison.There need to be an option where these variables can be ignored or output using the variable name which is specified in the project.

Always trust server certificate via option
Version 15 adds checkboxes for Encryption and to Trust a server certificate, but if you don't maintain proper certificates you now always need to check the Trust server certificate box on both servers for new comparisons. It would be great if there was an option to default the behavior of these checkboxes to fit your environment.

Sync a Database to a Source Control Repository
We really need the ability to "sync" a database to VCS repository, not just compare. I know this limitation exists by design because conflicts can be missed, but we have a scenario that demands it. We have batch check-ins that can take up to a half a day to commit manually.

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…

Ignore datatypes
I created a new database based on an existing but replaced all datetime columns by datetime2(2) and do not want to show this as difference neither want it be rolled back, when I create deployment scripts.
Same could happen, if I change the size of a varchar, decimal or integer datatypes (bigint <> int <> smallint ...) and even, if a number is in one database is stored in a varchar field, I could want to ignore this and deploy only everything else

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.

Allow SQL Compare to ignore difference due to ALTER and CREATE
When comparing a VS 2012 database project to a database, when the only difference is ALTER vs. CREATE (which happens because a stored procedure ALTER was executed directly, then saved) the comparison fails. An option to ignore this difference would be very handy.

ignore timestamp - binary 8 differences in databases
It is an option in sql replication to map rowversion/timestamp columns to binary(8) columns. It would be a nice option for sql compare to allow for this difference between databases. Without it every table is flagged up as being different which is a headache.

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

Object permissions in separate files instead of inside object definition
Presently, when syncing database to folder, all object permissions are stored inside object definition files. We would like to change the way permissions are stored; we would like to have an option to store object permissions in separate files.
For example, the following entry appears in dbo.A.sql file:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[A]
(
[b] [int] NULL
) ON PRIMARY
GO
GRANT SELECT ON [dbo].[A] TO [role_x]We save data into folders which are then checked into GIT as branches. Or goal is to be able to track all table changes in branches before merging into master branch, which is automatically deployed…

Compare against Database Projects
It would be great to see SQL Compare support Visual Studio Database Projects (.sqlproj).
Current if you choose Source Control | Scripts, you can point to the project folder, but then SQL Compare gets confused because it loads in extra .sql files (eg. the 'create database'.sql that gets put in the build output 'bin' folder).
Selecting the 'Tables' sub-folder works more reliably (if just comparing tables!), but then pushing changes down to the files results in schema that no longer compiles because the SSDT tools require 'GO' separators between each DDL statement.

Create deploy and rollback at one invoke
My company is using SQLCompare 14 and always create roll forward and roll back sql with 2 calls by reversing the input arguments., We output the database into file system and compare both directories. It took 15 sec for the "Registering data sources" because we have a big Database. We have 10 or more database so that adds up the time to several minutes to build a patch every time we check-in .
Can we add a switch to create both forward.sql and rollback.sql at one time instead of call this 2 times? This can cut our build time in…8 votes -
Option to delete identical records from Target
Option to delete identical records from Target.
I had the need to find all identical rows and remove them from the target as they shouldnt be there. I had to use the export to CSV, and using the data generator create a table with the 81k id's and then perform a delete in sql managment studio on the temp table to delete them.
It would be so simple an usfull to be able to just select an option to delete identical rows from target in the Data compare or is there an option to control this

filter
In SQL Compare make it remember the filter you last choose.
I set up my filters and saved them to a file. Then picked that file in the filter drop down.
The next time I bring up SQL Compare, I have to pick the filter again from the drop down. SQL Compare should remember the last one I used. Or give me the option to remember it like The Project Options allow you to save as My Defaults.
