Global scope filter?

mihies

It would be nice to have a global scope (all tables) filter in addition to per-table filter.
Currently I have a LastChange column in all of my tables (which is set to GetDate() value). I don't need to check this column, yet, all comparision checks it. OK, I could set filter on all tables one by one but this is a bit tedious. So, it would be nice to have an option to at least include global wide filter which would affect all table with specified column.

I was talking about mapping, not filtering. (Unmapped columns aren't compared). Thus I want unmapping of a column in all tables where such column exists...

Hi,

Wow, we haven't even released the alpha yet, and we've already got feature requests :-D.

I believe your best option at the moment is to use the Toolkit - you can use this to retrieve the details of all the objects in the database(s), then from that, build up a list of exclusions. We'll certainly bear this in mind for the future, though.

Cheers,
Robert

Great, I hope you do implement it as it is a very common scenario.

Hi,

You might also want to take a look at Richard's reply in the Data Compare 5 forum, if you haven't spotted it already.
