  1. When a repository is created from the database, both the package header and the package body are placed in a single file. It would be more usable if the spec and body were in separate files in the same folder with a .pks or .pkb extension respectively.

    I believe this is a request for public synonyms which has been implemented in the latest release.

    Please let me know if that’s incorrect.

  3. Now the projects are listed in the order they were created. I would like to be able to sort them manually in a more logical order.

    In the upcoming release (this week hopefully) the projects are sorted by name on startup. Not quite the flexibility you were after but I hope this will satisfy you for now.

    What sorting at startup means is that renaming a project will not move it in the project order until the tool is restarted.

  4. If a column is renamed, Schema Compare for Oracle sees this as a drop and create, so during the table rebuild data is preserved asides from the “new” column.

    Could you make this work similarly to SQL Compare and execute a rename instead?

    I’ve done the work for column rename detection. This will be a default option in the next release of Schema Compare and Source Control for Oracle.

    It probably won’t be perfect but the option can be turned off if it causes problems.

  5. Filter for object types in command line application (SCO.exe).

    There are several cases when to apply only changes for specific object types (i.e. package, procedure, function) instead of all differencies. Such as in GUI.

    This can now be done via a filter file in the latest command line release. Although I appreciate that a separate filter file isn’t ideal.

    These filter files are generated by Source Control for Oracle as object filters although they are a simple xml format if you want to generate them yourself.

  6. As we have lot of objects in the schema, if we want to lok for a particular object we dont have search capability in the tool

    The latest versions of the tools have a filter capability on the check-in page to search particular objects.

    (just doing a review of all uservoice requests)

  7. I must prevent to drop any tables, because the database may contains other tables for another application.
    And yes , they are in same schema.

    I need to deploy database changes on multiple databases, at client site, from a single snapshot.

    In the upcoming release drop table and drop column are both classed as high-level warning events which can easily be stopped. The command line tools as an option to not deploy if there are medium or high level warnings.

  8. Allow for saving of database versioning in a sub-folder of the subversion repository rather than just the root of the repository.

    This should now be fixed in the beta released yesterday (21 Feb), please do let us know if there are still issues!

  9. It appears that Schema Compare does not support table types as columns. I have a table that had a type type added to it on dev. I compared it with QA and it correctly detected the difference, however, the migration script did not include the storage clause necessary for deployment. The statement it created is this:

    ALTER TABLE xxproduct.auditlog ADD (auditvalue xxproduct.auditvaluetab);

    It should have created something along these lines:

    ALTER TABLE xxproduct.auditlog ADD (auditvalue xxproduct.auditvaluetab)
    NESTED TABLE "AUDITVALUE" STORE AS "AUDITVALUES"

    I’ve been working on this lately as although it could create a new table the migration scripts were very broken.

    Let me know if you want a pre-release version to try the fix out.

    This will included in the next release of the tools.

  10. For example, if I have several projects with multiple schemas in several databases, the Source Control for Oracle Tool may take several minutes to refresh the projects when the program opens. If I am only working on one database, I should be able to set the other projects to not auto refresh.

    In the next release SDC should return 61 if there were differences or 62 if there were differences and the synchornization failed.

    This hasn’t been thoroughly tested to any issues please let support@red-gate.com know.

    By the way I can see you commenting on your own idea :)

  15. System requirements for Schema Compare tell us about "Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 or later." Actually, the last version requires .NET version 4. The previous build required version 3.5 exactly. Such mess in versions frustrated me.

    Many thanks for reporting this Sergey, we have now updated that page. We are using some features in .NET 4 for the latest version, apologies for the frustration, we won’t be updating again for a long time now.

  16. Put a border around the application frame so it's eaier to detect on the screen with 20 other windows open...

    Much more importantly you need to add a way to cycle through the differences in the source control diff window by allowing to move through the changes instead of having to scroll. The blue is very hard to see in the side bar, too. Allowing simple text search wouldn't hurt either.

    There is a border around the application. There’s also a “Previous” and “Next” button at the top of the differences pane near the bottom. This will jump you the Previous/Next difference within the script respectively.

  17. Currently there is a 60 second timeout on all script executions for SCO deployment. I have run into situations where indexes on large data sets or table rebuilds on large tables exceeds that time frame resulting in SCO prematurely exiting the script deployment. The recommendation was to invest in better hardware. Unfortunately, better hardware cannot solve this problem where large data sets are in play. Having the ability to adjust the timeout default could help avoid such situations.

  18. Source Control Option

    When comparing multiple schemas all objects of same type go into one folder (e.g. all tables from all schemas into tables folder). In Oracle you normally look at objects by schema then type rather than this other way round.

    Please provide option (and set as default) to export into schema sub-folders then object type folders

    This is now implemented in version 3.0.0.196 which you can get via the Help menu in the tool (Help→Check for Updates).

    In this version multiple schemas are written to multiple sub-folders by default (the user just selects the parent folder) – we’ll look at adding a user-defined option to override this behaviour in a future release.

    Hi Oshrat,
    By default Schema Compare has an option on to “ignore storage” as many customers are comparing environments that have different storage options. You can however turn this off in the options tab before comparing.
    Do let us know if it’s that option that is in fact not working properly for you, but otherwise I’ll mark this as completed in a few days.
    Cheers,
    Michael

  20. It is not generating the UserObjectPrivileges scripts correctly, it is using the folder name of the repository instead of the schema name we are versioning:

    Here is an example:

    GRANT EXECUTE ON "branches/devl/db/devl".function TO user;
