SSMS plugin for SQL Compare - only by launching SQL Compare ?

bitshift2

Right-click Db in SSMS, select "Select schema comapre/deploy > set as source"

This shows a tabbed view directly in SSMS, where I can select the target. 

Ok, so far so good.  However, that's where SSMS ends and SQL compare must be launched via a button, correct?

With SQL Source control, I never have to leave SSMS (other than SCM tasks within my Git tool or command window etc)

Am I missing something?  Its no big deal but It seems like the intent was to have something that worked entirely within the context of SSMS?  I've used SQL Compare for a few years now, but have only recently switched back to it from SSDT schema compare within Visual Studio.

It's right that after you specify source and target in SSMS, SQL Compare is launched by clicking "Compare/Deploy with SQL Compare".

The intention is to enable you to compare and deploy databases from Management Studio.
