Crash if deploying too many tables

PaulOckenden

I have several thousand tables. Using SQL Compare (and then data compare) to move the data to a new database.

If I select more than approx 500 tables at a time I've noticed that SQL Compare just crashes and quite shortly after I hit the Deploy button (while it's generating the SQL). It seems find if I do the deployment in smaller batches, but that's a pain - it means a take that should take minutes ends up taking hours because I have to keep re-running the thing.

Any ideas how to stop it crashing? I'm using the latest build, BTW.

Sorry to hear you're having issues here - SQL Compare usually takes a while to deploy large numbers of tables but we've successfully tested it with several thousand of them; perhaps your database is unusually complex in some way.

Did you get a crash report dialog and were you able to send the report? Did you notice any other symptoms e.g. very high memory usage?

No crash report - the application just quits. Memory usage was quite high (10-15Gb), but I often see much higher usage with Data Compare, so I don't think that's it.

Can you upload the schema for the source? Maybe script out and rename anything that might be NDA. It would be good to test this. Also, which Compare version?
