An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment Len Kalman commentedI'm attempting to compare our development database vs a production database. When we deploy to production we set SQL Encryption on for all views, procedures, functions and triggers. With SQL Compare its showing that every view, procedure, function and trigger is modified, just because the production side has "WITH ENCRYPTION" for the objects. This forces us to manually evaluate the 1500+ objects that are encrypted to see if anything else has changed.

We've had a few requests for supporting MERGE statements - https://redgate.uservoice.com/redirect/suggestions/3100622. Would MERGE help this or are you still looking for IF EXISTS on INSERTS? If you'd like to chat about this, please reply.

Thank you everyone for your comments and votes on this over the years. While I don’t have a 100% full resolution for this suggestion, I can sum up our current recommendations here. Continued feedback is very welcome.
Our current recommendation is to use the post-deployment script feature of SQL Source Control (released in V6.3) to manage SQL Server Agent jobs.
An example script for this is here: https://documentation.red-gate.com/soc/common-tasks/working-with-pre-post-deployment-scripts/create-sql-server-agent-job
As some commenters in this thread have alluded to, it is possible (and sometimes very common) for SQL Agent jobs to have steps that touch multiple databases on a single SQL Server Instance. For this reason, some customers prefer to create a separate database for instance-level management and objects (sometimes named DBA or similar) and choose to manage things like linked servers and SQL Agent jobs with the post-script associated with that database.
This separate-database architecture also makes sense if the jobs…

Sadly there is not an option to ignore the WITH ENCRYPTION parameter when performing a comparison.
This has been added the details of this support call to an existing feature request whose reference is SC-4419.
Just looking for more users who complain about this
