I ended up rebooting the machine and that seemed to have fixed it. I thought I posted that somewhere.

Hi Nick,
I would recommend, firstly, manually uninstalling SQL Backup 5.x from the servers that you want to upgrade using Windows add/remove programs, then run the SQBServerSetup.exe from the SQL Backup 6 installation directory manually on the server.
As far as I can tell, the mutex used in version 6 is no longer "Global", so I would assume that the SQL Backup Agent Service on this instance is still version 5.
When running SQBServerSetup, I believe that you include the instance name in the command, ie: SQBServerSetup.exe /I "MyInstance".

Figured out the filter switch like you suggested, i.e. create a filter file via the UI and then reference it with the /filter: switch.
However, that hardcodes and XML filter file with specific search criteria. I want my criteria parameterized, not hardcoded. In other words, I can't create a filter file for a every different flavor of a parameter I might encounter -- I simply don't know what all the parameters are in advance.
Part of my confusion is why I would need the /filter: statement at all. The documentation on include/exclude states that the parameters for these switches are regular expressions:
/include:<object type>:<regular expression>
Thanks in advance,
Nick

One more question. You reference the /filter: switch. I see it referenced on the command line when I type sqlcompare /? but I don't see any examples about how to use it on the online docs.
Do you have any documentation on how to use the /filter: switch?

Thanks for your post.
You don't need to do anything special to include all tables containing Log.
The first example (/Include:table:Log) should include tables:
Log
LogA
LogB
New_Log
If you only want a specific table, i.e. 'LogTest' you will need to use:
/Include:table:\[LogTest\]
If are looking to only include tables with a certain schema/owner, i.e.
Log.Table_A
Log.Table_B
Then you will need to add a filter for the 'Log' schema/owner to the project. You can create a filter through the UI, and then reference it through the command line using /filter:
I hope this is helpful.

That all makes sense. Thanks.
I need one more clarification.
/Include:table:Log) brings back the following tables:
Log
LogA
LogB
New_Log
What if I just wanted those that begin with Log*, i.e. omitting New_Log? / comments

I have VS Studio 2005 installed and have access to 2008 if need be.
I'm also taking the occasion to push the folks dragging their feet on upgrading our code to make it SQL 2008 compatible. We've got old style sql-92 joins littered everywhere.
Thanks,
Nick

Any word on this? When I script a folder out is always seems to include the PAD_INDEX ON text (which is incorrect) regardless of the setting to ignore fillfactor and pad_index settings and then it errors when I try to do a compare.
Thanks,
