.NET Exception on synchronise with 'Force Column Order'

senorplankton

I've just come across a problem when trying to create the sync script between two dbs when 'Force Column Order' is set .

This happens in both 1.0.0.44 and 1.0.0.48.

It appears to occur when there is a difference in a table with a column definition of "timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP". The sync process has a problem with this and incorrectly flags it up as an invalid default (No value specified for a NOT NULL column). <<<EDIT - this is covered in http://www.red-gate.com/messageboard/vi ... 3706#43706 >>>

No matter which response is selected, the error occurs. Removing 'Force Column Order' prevents it.

Here is the source for two tables which will cause the error

CREATE TABLE  `db1`.`test` (
  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
  `new_field` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
  `timestamp` timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

CREATE TABLE  `db2`.`test` (
  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
  `timestamp` timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

This is the jist of the error text -
