Found a little problem and feature request

Hi!

I found a little problem. I inserted a new PK-column in a table and moved that column forward to the other PK cols. That forced a code change in our program. We deployed the new program version and used the diff-script generated with your tool. But our programm crashed on that particular spot where the code change was done. We found out that the diff-script inserted the new col but did not move it to the front cols, but appended it to the last col, so our code couldn't work. Is this a bug or a feature? :D

BTW we have a idea: What would be great is a filter which only shows the spots that are different in the objects, plus 3-4 lines before and after. Imagine looking for the diffs in a lengthy SP, ok you have the marks, but simply showing only the diffs with one mouseclick would be great!

Besides that: GREAT tool, keep on going!

bye, sascha

    Thanks!

    We have already thought of this, though. If you synchronize with the force column order to be identical option, then SQL Compare will script a table rebuild and add the new column in the same ordinal place as the original. Be aware there is a potential for data loss!
