I started the sychronization process. On step 2, I clicked "View SQL Script...". Then I selected some text and hit <ctrl><c> to copy. A little later, I hit <ctrl><v> to paste and got the following error. Please let me know if you need more info from me. See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text **************

Thanks, here's some more feedback. 5-7 -- Just a personal preference. I was thinking about SQL Server which lets me minimize basically any window at any step (even the Maintenance Plan Wizard). You're correct that those windows are not maintained within the parent application (I'd missed that before. 8 -- That's not sufficient. For example, I have 200 tables in this database and each table could have 0-10 varbinary(MAX) columns. Sometimes I don't care if any of the binary information is different. It would be very useful to be able to specify that I don't want to do any comparison for a specific data type instead of manually selecting up to 2000 columns. As I said before, your competitors can do this. 10 -- I do think it would be nice to compress the files on the filesystem (even optionally). It would also be useful to have a display before one clicks "Compare" to let us know an estimated minimum free space (i.e., at least the size of the backup). Or just make sure it's documented in the Help file. 11 -- In the object differences guid, if I expand my key column and then move the splitter bar to the left, my key column shrinks way down. Could you only shrink it enough to fit to the left of the splitter bar so that I don't have to re-expand it to fill the available space? 12 -- It's nice to see British spelling again (Synchonisation instead of Synchronization) in a program :-) However, it's not consistent. I see a button that has "Synchronization Wizard", but in the comparison window, I see "Synchroisation cannot change this backup". I know, being picky. 13 -- Switching between the 2 different object differences views is very quick. The previous and next buttons are quick. The filter to show all rows, rows that just exist in source or destination, and different rows is quick. And that's very impressive because I clicked on a table that has 1,983,153 differences (on purpose) and the grid showed up immediately. 14 -- The "Show Migration SQL" box generated the SQL script very quickly (except when I did it on 1,983,153 rows and I wouldn't expect it to be quick here). 15 -- I am unable to uncheck the checkboxes in "Columns as rows view". 16 -- It uses a relatively small memory footprint (122MB) when I have my comparison loaded. 17 -- Canceling the progress once I start a synchronization worked just fine. 18 -- Could you make it so that clicking on the synchronization direction arrow reverses the synchronization direction instead of having to right-click to change this? Just for timing purposes, comparison of a 12 GB database to a 12 GB backup took about 3.5 hours on my laptop. Thanks again, looks like a good upgrade. ~Ben / comments

In my previous job (up until 6 weeks ago), I frequently used SQL Data Compare on databases up to 500GB in size. Actually, we were beta testers for one of the earliest versions of SQL Compare becaus...
