SQL Server Include Dependencies Setting
Published 18 December 2025
Description
Includes dependent objects when comparing and deploying databases. For example, if a view depends on a table then the table will be deployed when deploying the view.
When this setting is set to true, Flyway Desktop will display the list of dependencies that would be pulled in, and prompt to select them, though it is possible to deselect them. This applies to all relevant schema model and migrations operations.
Type
Boolean
Default
true
Usage
Flyway Desktop
This can be set from the comparison options settings in SQL Server projects.
When set to false, dependencies are never pulled in, and the dependency review step is disabled for schema model and migrations operations.
Command-line
./flyway model -redgateCompare.sqlserver.options.behavior.includeDependencies=false
TOML Configuration File
[redgateCompare.sqlserver.options.behavior]
includeDependencies = false
