Fix version 14.8+ so we don't have to type in ";Trust Server Certificate = true" for every server name
Fix version 14.8+ so we don't have to type in ";Trust Server Certificate = true" for every server name. We don't have to do this for other tools from Idera, Solarwinds, Orion, Microsoft, or any others. This is a bug in SQL Compare and SQL Data Compare newer than v14.7.7.21053
4 votesThis was shipped in SQL Compare v 15.0.2.22953 on Jan 17th, 2023. Thank you!

Sort by Last Modified is broken
Sort by Last Modified is broken in SQL Compare 14.0.6.13387.
When I click the column heading to sort (Source or Target, order changes, but is definitely not ascending or descending.
And the Last Modified value shown in the grid does not match that seen in sys.objects, information_schema.routines, or object explorer details.1 vote -

Ignore MASKING FUNCTION on columns
Dynamic masking functionality is new to SQL 2016. It is applied on columns.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/security/dynamic-data-masking
Great for DEV and UAT environments where data obscurity is required.
CREATE TABLE Membership
(MemberID int IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
FirstName varchar(100) MASKED WITH (FUNCTION = 'partial(1,"XXXXXXX",0)') NULL, *ignore these
LastName varchar(100) NOT NULL,
Phone# varchar(12) MASKED WITH (FUNCTION = 'default()') NULL,
Email varchar(100) MASKED WITH (FUNCTION = 'email()') NULL);
Ideally we need this ignored in SQL Compare and SQL Source control comparisons so it is not accidentally deployed to production.

Any feedback or further suggestions do let us know.

Version 12 "Edit Project" UI: backspace should *not* clear out the database name
In version 12 pressing "backspace" while typing the database name in the "Edit Project" screen clears out the database name completely instead of just deleting the last character.
Made a typo while typing in the database name? Too bad, you'll have to type the whole thing again after pressing Backspace. Constantly switch between servers with thousands of databases with similar, but slightly different names? The Database textbox is nearly impossible to use until the database list in the drop-down is fully loaded (which can take a while) because when you go to backspace, it just wipes the text without letting…
3 votesSorry about this – it was really annoying for us as well! The good news is that we’ve recently shipped a fix to SQL Compare 12.4 (currently available on Frequent Updates: https://documentation.red-gate.com/display/SC12/Turning+on+Frequent+Updates ) – let us know how that works for you :)

Add support for External Tables
I use Azure SQL, and there is limited cross-database functionality in that environment. Due to this I have several External Tables that I use to point to a Master Database with shared setting, info, etc. for each customer database.
When I used SQL Compare to fill out the schema for a new database it copied all of the External Tables as Local Tables, and it didn't bring over the Data Source either. This could be very handy as dealing with external tables (and especially changes to them) is a pain.
119 votesWe shipped support for External Tables in SQL Compare 14.5.

Run SQL Compare on Linux/Mac
I know weird to with a MS SQL Server, but many people who have been on the platform for a while now have developers with Macs, and automation systems on linux. DLM Automation is pricing some of us out of the Redgate ecosystem. With SQL server now running on Linux seems a reasonable path. I sure hope our beloved sql compare is not going away :(

You can find more information in our release notes, and please do get in touch with any feedback or requests for improvements!

v 12.0.33.3389 UI is sow and blocking compare to previous version
unsure what is causing this, but i find the new version to much less performant.
1 voteWe’ve just released SQL Compare 12.1.1.3793 to Frequent Updates, which some performance improvements when selecting/deselecting large numbers of tables. The performance improvement is particularly noticeable when the source is a scripts folder and the target is a live database over a network connection. (SC-9157) Does this solve your problem?

Couple Fixes needed for the UI
With the new UI several things are now "broken".
First of all, on the Project dialog, the Database Drop Downs do not select the entry that matches what's in the text box.
So if I have a list of database such as:
DB A
DB B
DB C
DB C2and the Text says "DB C", when I click the button for the drop down, it doesn't highlight it. So what that means is if I want to change it to DB C2, I either have to start typing in the name again, or scroll through the list until I…

BUG: SQL Difference pane shows non-existing differences in preview bar

Start-up position not saved
SQL Compare (and SQL Data Compare) still don't save their position on last close. It will always start in the upper left hand corner of the screen. I know this was reported before and it is shown as fixed but I'm running 12.0.30.3199 and it's still a problem on a fully patched Win7 Pro computer.
1 voteHi Michael,
This was fixed in 12.0.32.3340 which is currently available on our frequent updates channel. You can switch on frequent updates by following the guide below. This change will be rolled into a default release later this month.

BUG::With SQL Compare 12 it unselects or changes selected items when changing the deployment direction
When using compare to create out db rollout packages, we also create the rollback by changing the deployment direction. There is a bug where I could have items selected. Then I change the direction and no items are selected. Also had at one point where I selected a table did both directions. Unchecked the table then selected 2 sprocs. Changed the direction and it unchecked the 2 sprocs and reselected the table. This causes much headache and time to our process. Potentially we could miss items for our rollback solution and not know it until a time or rollback. Also…

Bring back the Project Browser in Compare 12

Version 12 crash report - let me view data being sent
I sent two crash reports today. (Unhappily the first time I ran version 12.) It did not describe or let me see what was being sent. I don't really feel comfortable with that. I'd like to know what is being sent before I send any more reports.
4 votesAs of SQL Compare and Data Compare 12.2.4, the exception report dialog has a “view report data” button which will allow you to view the exact data which would be submitted to Redgate.
We primarily added this feature to ensure users could assess any possible impact on their privacy, although the feature could also be used to dig through the data and recover the table name our support engineers found.
At time of writing, 12.2.4 is on our frequent updates channel, and we expect to release the feature to default channel soon.

Bug - Rename Table and Field
Table tblTableA with field fldFieldA is renamed tblTableB and field fldFieldB.
Then map tables between two different databases.
Script snippet generated in renaming field is something like:
IF (COLLENGTH(N'[dbo].[tblTableA]', N'fldFieldA) IS NOT NULL) AND (COLLENGTH(N'[dbo].[tblTableB]', N'fldFieldB') IS NULL)
EXEC sp_rename N'[dbo].[tblTableB].[fldFieldA]', N'fldFieldB', N'COLUMN'
GO
Obviously I have omitted other script details, but hopefully you get the idea, that this will not work as the table has been renamed.Rob
0 votesUpdate: It turns out this bug was really easy to fix – we’ve released it to our Frequent updates channel.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for your feedback. I’ve managed to reproduce this issue locally and I’ve logged it with reference number SC-8948.
I’m going to close this user voice request since this is for a bug rather than a new feature. (We track these in a slightly different way and want to make sure we triage this appropriately). If you’d like to track the progress of this fix please get in contact with our support team by emailing support@red-gate.com.
Cheers,

Use Case
I think it would be great if once you create a script from SQL Compare you would add the 'use db_name' as the first line to ensure the script gets ran on the correct database. Often I send my scripts to other teams to run and this will ensure they are running the script on the correct database. I believe SQL Data Compare already does htis after you create a script. Keep up the good and I can't say enough about how awesome your tool set is!
3 votesHi Robert,
This should already be supported by switching on the “Add database USE statement” option on the edit project screen.

David
