Hi,
I'd like to second this feature.
I think that it's important that all Red-Gate's products should refer to Schema and Object Name in the object lists.
I also think the schema should be referred to as Schema as well (not Owner as SQL Compare does). I do understand the problem of backwards compatibility with SQL Server 2000 as it doesn't have schemas explicitly, but I think that as Owner effectively stood for Schema in 2000 and no longer does in 2005> then the change of description is valid.
Please see my request in the SQL Data Compare 8 (Early Access Program) forum http://www.red-gate.com/MessageBoard/viewtopic.php?t=8935 for more information.
Thanks

Hi,
Also, it is possible that some will want to use one extended property for Descriptions and one for casual Notes
Yes I think this is a good idea as you might want to note different information without changing the DB documentation.
Also thinking about the link back to SQL Doc in the other direction, things like Notes entered in the other Red-Gate products would be a good optional extra to include in the documentation.
But I think I've already raised something along those lines with you in the SQL Doc forum. :-)
Cheers,

Show the schema in Object List
Hi,
I make use of different schemas in my databases and one major gripe I have with SQL Data Compare is the Tables and Views Tab doesn't show the Schema Name with the Table. So if you have schemaA....
I agree, consistency with SQL Compare in this regard is important.
Janez's idea makes sense to me as well.

Hi,
SQL Compare 8 doesn't seem to be highlighting a difference in my code. The difference is recognised (it's the only difference to the proc), but it's not highlighted in the code area, nor in the...
DB Level Extended Properties
Hi,
Just noticed a recent conversation with SamJones11 about DB Attributes. If you do consider adding these then I have an additional request. DB Level Extended Properties - I set a number of Exten...
Hi David,
They're in separate files. We have a folder called Static Data that we use to store the files with inserts.
An alternative would to be exclusive about the folders used on the compare. So that only folders defined in the SQL Compare options area are actually used (optionally) rather than parse every .sql file under the top level folder - just a thought.

Exclude Scripts from folder
Hi,
We keep (large) default data insert scripts with our tables in VSS and SQL Compare runs these when trying to process the Script Folder. This can hang (or it takes a long time) SQL Compare durin...
I've just noticed this as well. / comments

This is a request that I've meaning to ask for a while now.
When editing a script via SQL Compare it always opens a new instance of my editor (whether that's notepad, Management Studio or another t...
