Hi Eddie
Yes I understand, and I suspected that is what was occurring. Perhaps you could consider adding extra ordering criteria to the system table queries for future releases? That would improve the usefulness of this tool a great deal in my case, and hopefully for others too.
Thanks for the response

Hi Chris, thanks for your reply
The script is still functionally correct and can be executed successfully. Its more of a source control traceability issue. Unfortunately we do not have personal databases dedicated to a certain project or piece of work, so when we produce schema comparisons, we often only want to include a subset of the changes in the deployment script. Being able to then compare the deployment script with a previous deployment to ensure we have only captured the changes we want is important. It makes it difficult when objects appear in different parts of the script and are identified as differences by text comparison tools.
I assume there is a degree of ordering implemented to ensure dependencies are applied in the correct order etc. Apart from that, the ordering seems arbitrary as sometimes it is the same as previously, but not always. I thought it might be simple enough to add additional ordering criteria to ensure a specific order is retained each time.
cheers

Deployment script ordering of objects
Hi
When generating a deployment script after doing a schema comparison, the ordering of the objects that are being created/modified isn't always consistent. That makes it difficult when using a tex...
