Make SQL Data Compare respect the "do not use transactions" setting
The use case for this may be a bit odd but I've had a very big compare to do today - refreshing takes nearly an hour.
Now I'm putting the data from 20 or so tables into another. Trying to pass the contents of all the tables in one transaction blows out the server logs, it's just too many rows.
However, turning off the "use transactions in deployment scripts" option is ignored until I refresh the data. That means waiting nearly an hour before SQL Data Compare will respect the value in the project settings.
That really doesn't make any…

provide an option to halt the compare after 'n' mismatches to allow quicker results when expecting a perfect match
when expecting a perfect match, please provide an option to halt the compare after a user-provided number of mismatches.

Move "automatically add new tables" to "data sources" tab
If I'm working from an old file, sometimes I need to add to the definition in there. But there are new tables, so I need to turn off "automatically add new tables".
However, the only way to turn it off is to change to the tables & views tab... which then adds all the tables you didn't want before you have a chance to turn it off.
It save a lot of time to move this option to "data sources", so I could set it before changing to the tables tab and I now have to find all the new…

Ignore varchar/nvarchar differences.
We'd love the ability to be able to ignore varchar/nvarchar differences between databases. We have separate databases that are essentially the same, except all varchars are nvarchar to support unicode.
At the moment, we cannot use SQL Compare to compare the two databases, as every Table/SPR/UDF comes up with changes.

Aliases
Having sql-servers named "sqlserver218165", sqlserver328976" it would make a big difference if we in Sql compare could give the servers aliases, so we could compare "AccountingTest" to "AccountingProduction"

Add "xxx tables or views with 0 rows" to the result list
Today, empty tables that have no rows appear in the list of "xxx tables or views with identical rows only". It would be more accurate to split this list into tables/views with data that are identical and table/views that are empty.

compare one source table to 2 or more destination tables
Allow data from one source table to be mapped to 2 or more destination tables. Due to requirement changes we needed to split data from one table in to two separate tables but data compare will only map one source table to one destination table. Some data has to be duplicated on both tables and some belongs to one or other of the new tables.

Allow to compare source and target fields
We very often need a way to find new and updated entries in 1 DB and copy them over to the other DB. For that it would be very handy to have a way in the WHERE clause to compare the source and target field, e.g. like this:
Source.Created > Target.Created

option to exclude tsqlt tables and schemas
SQL Compare can exclude tSQLt-related objects. SQL Data Compare should have a similar facility, at least for parity with SQL Compare and also to reduce false positives in the result

Add possibility to add CHANGE_TRACKING_CONTEXT to deployment script
Provide an option (in gui and command line) to add a CHANGETRACKINGCONTEXT to the generated deployment script.
This is helpful when using sql change tracking for synchronization to manage whether the changed made under a provided CHANGETRACKINGCONTEXT need to be synchronized or not.
When enabling change tracking we have to make sure that the data in the tables are identical on both sides. Thats were we use SQL Data Compare, but the changes made for that "initial sync" shouldn't be recognized by change tracking for later synchronization.
This would be very easy if you could just…

Add ability to migrate CDC tables from one database to another
When we upgrade an application, say by adding tables, we use frequently use SQL Data Compare to move the data from the old database to the new, upgraded database. It would be great to be able to migrate the CDC data for the tables in the original version of the database to the new version!

Ability to Deploy Changes to Individual Columns
After reviewing the result of table(s) comparison, it should be easier to choose by clicking a box by the column header for which column(s) you want to sync across to the target DB.

I should be able to import an SQL Compare project into an SQL Data Compare project
I should be able to import an SQL Compare project into an SQL Data Compare project to get db names and such, plus table and owner mappings.
It seems like it would be a frequent thing that a compare and build would be followed by a data migration too.3 votes -
Be more robust in the face of Transport Errors
Data Compare almost always fails because of frequent (but short) network outages. If we could specify the timeout, this problem would be solved.

Option to use the default value or empty string for a NOT NULL column in the target DB that contains NULLs in the source DB
If the target DB has some columns that don't allow NULLs, but they did in the source DB, the inserts fail as it tries to insert NULL.
I think there should be a configurable option to make it either use the default value of the column or an empty string in place. As part of the insert the script could be ISNULL(ColumnName, 'DefaultValue').
Many thanks.3 votes -
excel report customization
Exporting the comparison results as excel file with customization:
We are using Redgate trial version of "SQL Data Compare 14" using command line for the past couple of days for the data comparison work. As of now I understand that while exporting the comparative data in excel, each table result will be available in individual excel and the report summary for the consolidated tables. I want to know whether I can change the format of the excel file which is generated (excel customization). If so, please let me know how to do that process also I have attached the format…

Separate ALTER Table operations
Instead of putting all alter table operations into a single command, provide an option to have them split into multiple individual operations.
Instead of this:
ALTER TABLE JobTime ADD
UUIDPayWeek nvarchar (50) NULL,
XMLEquipment xml NULL,
XMLConsumables xml NULL;
GODo this:
ALTER TABLE JobTime
ADD UUIDPayWeek nvarchar (50) NULL
GOALTER TABLE JobTime
ADD XMLEquipment xml NULL
GOALTER TABLE JobTime
ADD XMLConsumables xml NULL

Where clause gone when multiple tables selected
Earlier versions would maintain the Where Clause when it was the same for multiple selected tables. We have a project that never changes other than one part of the where clause but I have to re-enter the same where clause every time. It's only saved per individual row.
