I am trying to produce a report of database differences, and the lack of support for object renames is unfortunate because it shows renamed objects as unrelated Add and Drops.
Here is basically a feature request:
When comparing databases, it would be nice to have a table of name equivalences or renames to use in order to determine if two objects are the same.
For example, suppose a database had the MyTable table and associated view misspelled.
MyTabel==MyTable
vMyTabel==vMyTable
Then the synchronizer would recognize the rename, and compare the objects.
This would be better than requiring resync in the UI (like CA ERwin) which requires an annoying number of mouse clicks and does not persist the equivalence. Everytime you refresh the comparison, you have to re-sync the renames. With an equivalence table, you could add more equivalences to the comparison, and then refresh the comparison.
Is such a feature planned? / comments
