I have since discovered that the file scripted out by SQLCompare does not have the double parentheses. Rather, they show up when SQLCompare reads the file in to compare it to a live database. While this happens consistently for individual databases, it does not happen with all databases. Also, I am still having the problem that single and double parentheses do not compare as the same, even when these are the only errors listed by the Compare Project. Currently this forces me to check quite a few files for mismatches if I want to be sure the script and the database actually compare as equal. / comments

I now also realize that my problem with comparing scripts having CREATE vs ALTER has to do with how the scripts were generated. If I export the database structure I get CREATE. If I tell SQLCompare to synchronize a live database to a script and then copy the file generated, I get ALTER. Sorry, if this was obvious. / comments

The proc object in the Dev database has CREATE. The proc object in the QA database has CREATE. The script made with SQLCompare from the QA database has CREATE. I ran the SQL Server object code on both Dev and QA, though I had to change CREATE PROC to ALTER PROC, and both ran successfully and still had CREATE TABLE #AdTbl / comments

It turns out that my first description wasn't quite right. What happened was I compared a script and a live database. I told SQLCompare to synchronize from the live database to the script. I then went through SQLCompare's synchronization steps. When I compared the scripts to the live database again, the scripts had ALTER, which no longer matches the CREATE scripted from the live database. / comments

I have since changed it to ASCII because the scripts were coming out limited to about 10 columns on the left side of the page. Originally it was the default, which I believe was UTF-8. / comments
