What files are created when the Data Compare is ran? Where are they? Can they be deleted? I've noticed alot of disk space used after a sql data compare is ran.

Thanks

    Hello,

    Data Compare needs to use a lot of temporary storage files for processing data. By default, these exist in the %TMP% folder, although this can be configured by setting the %RGTEMP% environment variable.

    Once the comparison project is closed, these files are disposed of. I could imagine in the case of a program error in SQL Data Compare, some files may be left behind, but normally they're all deleted when a project is closed or the program is exited normally.
