Synch Stored Proceedure Error

Hi Martin,

Thanks for posting. It does look as if the linked server called OPERA
isn't available. When you create a stored procedure, SQL Server checks to
see that the linked server name exists. If it doesn't, you could get thrown
an error. Since Linked Servers are out of the scope of a database and fall
under the realm of management, you will probably need to create the linked
server manually on the server that you're running the migration against.

Please let me know if this works!

Regrads,

    Hi Martin,



    Here's another thing I had ran into recently: there is a problem
    with the way that SQL Compare sets up the transactions because the ODBC
    drivers don't support the serialization level that SQL does. We need to have
    the line ' SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE' in all of the
    scripts that SQL Compare runs, but this is what causes script errors on
    linked servers.



    The only workaround at this point is to save the script to a file,
    change SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE to read SET TRANSACTION
    ISOLATION LEVEL READ COMMITTED and save the script. Hopefully this doesn't
    cause other problems when you run the script.
