Three way data merging with DCO
Is there any plan to support three way merging? Right now DCO is more like pushing or copying then merging. Hopefully Red Gate can support three way merging to make it more useful.
Steps
- Schema A, B, and C are all same.
- Change data in schema B, also change data in schema C
- Now do three way comparison, and merge changes back from B to A, and also C to A.
(Optionally, we can push changes back to B, C to make all A, B, and C same again)
We have no plans for this change. It would mean far too major changes to the engine and UI and the way the tool can work.
This could be done currently via the command line and running a series of comparisons one after the other.
(Also, we plan to rewrite the command line this year to make it more useful as currently the Data Compare one requires project files generated by the UI to work)

Hello, can you give me more hints how we can do three way data merging with command line? If we can do it in command line it would be really awesome.
