Disable drop constraints steps?
Hi,
I recently ran into an issue trying to use SQL compare to deploy some changes to a test environment. I was adding a nullable column to a table containing a large number of records (hundreds of millions) and it took hours to complete. I retired the same operation manually and it took less than 5 minutes.
The problem was that I stupidly didn't review the generated code before deploying it and missed the fact that the script was dropping a handful of constraints and indexes on the table, adding the column and then re initializing the indexes and constraints. This wasn't acceptable for us. Is there a way to disable this either universally or for specific tables?
Thanks

I believe there are some more specific custom filters you can apply to the SQL Compare project. You can have it exclude things based on expected object names, or contains, etc.

Hope that helps!
