Hi @DAHay
Thank you for reaching out on the Redgate forums regarding your SQL Compare inquiry.
Unfortunately functionality around the OPTIMIZE_FOR_SEQUENTIAL_KEY is not yet implemented into the Compare engines that function in SQL Compare & SQL Data Compare.
I have escalated this gap in the software to our development team who have advised they have added it into their backlog and will include it in their next planning meeting.
At this point I do not have an ETA on when it will be implemented but will endeavor to update this forum post as I receive information.
Otherwise I would suggest bookmarking the SQL Compare updates page for releases from v14.8.9 onwards that mention this added functionality.
We appreciate your report on this missing feature for SQL Server 2019 and look forward to having it implemented in a future release.

No release date to confirm just yet - but wanting to update that there is some movement happening behind the scenes.
Looking forward to a more definitive update with a future post.Jon Kirkwood | Technical Support Engineer | Redgate Software

Hi @DAHay
Thank you for your patience as the team worked on this - I can confirm that a fix has been included with release v14.9.3
I've run a compare against two tables with optimize_for_sequential_key as a variance and it does now appear as a recognized difference.
Are you able to patch into v14.9.3 at your earliest convenience to verify this has been resolved for you
