No response from anyone? Someone at Redgate? RG sql data compare is clearly showing a quick "Cancelling .... something ... " and starting over. Infinite loop. making my expensive software not very useful in this case. I've run into this with a few other comparisons (user databases) since I noticed this issue on Monday. / comments

Don't let the simplicity of the example fool you. Amanda is now managing 100 databases, each with thousands of objects and is put in the same situation... Your suggestion of retrieving the missing objects (CHANGING the current truth), then dropping it (using what as a guide, a screen shot or a had written list?), simply to allow SSC to get its bearings is untenable in a situation where there are potentially hundreds of objects to process. WHEN a DB is linked to a TFS node (or to what node) should have no bearing on the ability of the tool to capture the current shape of the DB in your source control system. I'm really curious what the answer to this is. If you have an older version in a DB linked to TFS and a newer version in another DB, the best workflow I can think of (which isn't very appealing) is using SQL compare to sync the new db to the old and then use SSC to check in. I don't understand why the physical action of a drop against a currently linked db is required to check in the absence of an object. / comments

OUCH, saved a draft a few days ago, and now it's gone.... ugh. The page you've called out helps me understand why the app is working the way it does, but not how to use it in the wild. The real question is how to get the truth into TFS. What's the workflow? I'm used to being able to tell source control what the truth is based on my knowledge of the state of the project, not having the tooling dictate which direction information can flow. This is probably me not having that ah-ha moment of understanding, so please, set me strait! Using the page you've referenced as an example, I'd like to call out the moment I start to stumble... If we compare Amanda's database and the scripts folder in source control, we can see a table in Amanda's database that isn't in source control. We don't have any information about where the difference came from, so we can't tell whether we should commit that table to source control or drop it from Amanda's database. Shouldn't it be up to AMANDA what to do with the table? She's the dev and knows what her intent is. The table should show on both the commit tab as an add (to push the table to SCS) AND the get latest tab as a drop from the database. my situation is this.... Amanda commits the table from her local db to TFS and labels this as v1. Amanda is informed by the master of her universe that v2 now lives on server xyz. (v2 is actually an empty db, so the table isn't there) Amanda opens SSMS and links xyz.db to the same TFS node with the intent of checking in v2. To her surprise, SSC shows (by way of the icon in object explorer) that there are no differences! The commit tab shows nothing. Are v1 and v2 identical? Out of curiosity, Amanda views the Get latest tab and sees that there IS A DIFFERENCE between the DB and TFS that was otherwise unknown to her and SSC is offering to add the table to the v2 db. What should Amanda do? She knows the new db is the truth, but can't check it in because SSC is only offering to go from TFS to DB. / comments

haleyjason, I truly appreciate the input. I would also (really) appreciate a little background on what's going on. I was under the impression that if an assembly is in the GAC it is available to all .NET processes on the system, this being the purpose of the GAC. I never really paid much attention to the "Process architecture" attribute displayed there. So I'm admitting my naivete in this area and asking for some explanation of what's happening under the covers. If an assembly is in the GAC but showing as MSIL, does that affect the assembly's visibility system wide? I explained what my ultimate goal is, this crystal assembly is in the GAC_MSIL and a web application is failing to fulfill it's reference to that dependency. How should I proceed? / comments

I've done this, but reflector doesn't see the assembly I'm looking for. My asp.net web app is dying looking for CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine version 10.5.3700 I can see it in the GAC, but reflector doesn't? It is MSIL. can someone explain what's going on? / comments

Yes, same result. Someone else here also went to the same link and got the same results. However, he then took off the file name to browse the location and was then able to see the file and download it normally. we've got the file, but you may want to test your link from other locations. I've never seen this behavior before for a ZIP file. / comments

Originally I was comparing the DB to a previously cloned version. However, even comparing the DB to itself gives the error. / comments

Dan, Of course you need a time limit, but setting it the same as that of a full release version is pretty restrictive, especially when it expires even before the release date! This is the first instance I've ever seen that situation. Your first Beta had no time limit, right? At least I didn't notice, because I ran it, liked the concept, spent a few days playing and commenting on the forum, and then got board and forgot about it till Beta 2. If you're concerned about the Beta 2 harming sales, make it a time limit that extends beyond the projected release date by 30 or 45 days... It's not going to kill your sales, as those that are using it often are GOING TO BUY THE REALEASE!! Those that don't weren't going to buy it anyway so an extra month of use is irrelevant to red-gate. But then again, why would someone bother beta testing a product they have no interest in using? And, why would you ever want to treat beta testers just like some user trying a demo? They are spending their time HELPING you with a product that, by definition, isn't ready for prime time. If you think you can release a working product that fully solves the majority of users' needs and has no bugs, based solely on developers' opinions, I've got some land to sell you in Florida! Has red-gate learned nothing from MS's new approach using CTPs and "interactive" product development? / comments

I had just changed the Application Options to use a different SQL editor. I used double quotes for the path, since it was in progra~1... removing the dbl quotes prevents the exception. / comments
