  1. Add Summary View command line option

    Currently there are 3 output options when running sql compare via the command line /quiet /verbose and the default. I'd like to see an option between the default and verbose logging similar to the "Summary view" present in the main application.
    For example: I'd like to see the tablename that has diffs (default option) AND the name of the index on said table that is different (new summary option), but not the entire table definition (verbose option).

  2. 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…

  3. 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.

  4. Selective Changes

    Allow the selection of what changes you want instead of updating the whole object. For example, a table may have column changes that you don't want to promote but indexes that you do want to promote.
