Issues Synchronizing to a scripts folder

muaddba

I am running SQL Data Compare 9 against a folder of scripts and am having an issue. One of my tables has a row that is always showing up as a difference between my two sources, no matter how many times I sync it. It's always the same row, and I can sync it fine with another database, just not a scripts folder.

Can someone assist with troubleshooting? This is part of a problem we're having with SQL Source Control and syncing a static data table to our source control system, however the error seems to be coming from the data compare tool itself, not the sql source control framework.

In cases like this, there are a few options that sometimes resolve strange issues where seemingly identical rows are reported as different. Can you try enabling "Trim trailing spaces" and/or "Force binary collation" in the comparison options, and let me know if either of those resolves the issue?

Thanks, forcing binary collation did the trick.

Great, glad to hear it!
