Hi Sean,

I believe you're looking at the possibility that your indexes need to
be re-created. Please let me know if that works.

    Hello again Sean,

    SQL Data Compare makes the assumption that the database schema is
    identical on both sides. Trying to compare without identical schema can
    yield unpredictable results. You can always check your table's structure
    with SQL Compare!
