Database.LoadFromDisk Overload Request

TomAnderson

Hey, i was wondering if it would be possible to request an overload that takes a stream as an input instead of a filename.

The situation is that i am deploying an update xml file and want to embed the live versioned database snapshot inside of the xml file so i don't have to send out two files.

From what Reflector shows, this would not be a huge undertaking, and if needed my company would be willing to expedite this change within reason.

Current
Public Sub LoadFromDisk(fileName as String)

Requested
Public Sub LoadFromDisk(fileStream as System.IO.Stream)


*EDIT: Just realised I posted this in the wrong forum, could a moderator move this topic to the Toolkit forum?

Hi Tom,

Thanks, we'll consider it.

Any updates on whether this will make the chopping block or not?

Hi Tom,

Thanks for checking up. It's currently on the todo list for SQL Compare 6. Whether or not it happens is still up in the air.

Thanks Brian,

Is there anything that my company can do to "help" this feature get in?
