can select unique constraints as key column

Brian DonahueBrian Donahue Posts: 6,590 Bronze 1
Hi Guy,

Data Compare supports unique indexes, but not unique constraints. There
is a subtle difference there. As far as I know, we should be able to support
columns which have unique constraints placed on them, but the idea is still
in the suggestion box as I write this.

    Hi Guy,

    There is a new version of Data Compare, just out today, which has
    support for unique constraints in it. If you perform a 'check for updates'
    from the help menu, you should get the updated software.
