  1. table Id

    I am trying to compare only 1 field in the 2 tables, BUT the Id of the table is included anyway in the compare. That makes the compare result wrong. I expect identical in the result, but because the Id is included then the result is wrong. How can I remove the Id from compare?

  2. Behavior of "Escape" / "RETURN" for cancelling or accepting in any (modal) dialog

    hi there,

    i would like to have a continuous behavior throughout the whole application regarding "Escape" -> Cancel and "RETURN" -> Accept.

    Its basically the same like his idea:
    https://redgate.uservoice.com/forums/147879-sql-data-compare/suggestions/37568173-escape-to-close-value-details
    but everywhere in the whole Red-Gate ecosystem would be much appretiated.

    regards,
    Martin

  3. Ignore a column during comparison (BLOB) but include in Deploy

    We have certain tables with BLOBs (varbinary(max)) which takes ages to compare between two databases. But if i exclude this column for comparison, it wont appear in the deploy, which will fail (in my case) caus its "NOT NULL" column.

    In short:
    make an option to ignore columns on compare, but keep in deploy.

  4. Delete all rows or Truncate of target table

    to make a green field before compare. Mostly i use Data compare to refresh data from the live system to the dev/qa/... which is sometimes a mess. So i have to clear the target tables by hand before.

    This could be done in a global switch in "Edit project" -> "Options" but during the Deploy workflow I would remind the user and let him uncheck if required.

    Or at least make a clipboard copy for the scheme.tablename from the result window to make a manual truncate easier.

  7. Add sort by selected in Dialog "Edit project" under "Tables & views"

    Its time consuming to scroll down to find the 5 checked tables within 400 tables in total. Please create some kind of a group/sort to show the selected on top or provide another toggle checkbox to show only the selected ones or all
