Sync Generation Error and a few other bugs...

Brian Donahue

Hi Wayne,

SQL Compare seems to want to migrate Extended Properties whether they
are different or not. While that's essentially harmless, I will raise the
issue here.

I hope that you're re-comparing the databases after you change the
comparison options to keep SQL Compare from synchronizing things that you
don't want to be synchronized! I feel a bit silly asking this, but I feel
it's important.

We've seen the problem with the extra spaces appearing and are working
to fix it.

Thanks,

Brian Donahue
