Database Queries SLOW after change script

Hi Jason,

Glad you like the software. If you're suffering problems with query
input, more than likely it's an index that's to blame. Can you look and see
what changes SQL Compare is making to your indexes?

Thanks,

    Hi Jason,

    The thing that comes to mind is to make sure that if you had a clustered
    index before, to make sure it's re-created as a clustered index again when
    SQL Compare scripts them. Depending on how you use your data, clustering can
    help or hinder greatly on databases with lots of transactions going on.
