With SQL Compare, you can compare and synchronize SQL Azure databases.

SQL Azure databases do not support the following object types:

Application Roles

Assemblies

SQL Azure has further limitations that can cause SQL Compare synchronizations to fail. For example, SQL Azure does not support Encryption, Data Compression, or SQL Server Replication.
