Ignore Names of Constraints, Triggers, Bug?

Hi William,

SQL Compare should ignore the constraint names as you've described. Do
you have 'Ignore object Order' set in the options as well? I'm fairly sure
that if the indexes are in a different order, it might account for the
reason that you get this difference.
