When you are reviewing the comparison results, a side-by-side listing of differences in the creation SQL script for an object is displayed in the lower (SQL Differences) pane. To display the SQL Differences pane, click an object in the upper (Results) pane.

You can adjust the height of the SQL Differences pane by dragging it up or down, or by using the buttons to move the pane to a pre-set height.

Click to open the SQL Differences pane in a separate window. If you are working with multiple monitors, it can be useful to move this window to another monitor. Click again to re-dock the window.

If you close the SQL differences pane, click an object in the Results pane to display it again.

Viewing differences

Lines that contain differences are displayed with a shaded background; text within a line that is different is displayed with a darker shaded background.

The central column shows the type of difference:

	there are differences in the group of SQL statements
	this line of SQL will be added if you deploy this object (the direction of the arrow indicates the database that will be updated)
	this line of SQL will be added if you deploy this object (the direction of the arrow indicates the database that will be updated)
	this line of SQL will be removed if you deploy this object

There is no icon if the two lines are identical.

Use  Next and  Previous to go to lines that contain a difference. You can also use the screens Alt + Up Arrow and Alt + Down Arrow.

The Line Differences bar

The Line Differences bar displays the selected line of the SQL creation script in both data sources one on top of the other. This is especially useful when the lines are too long to view all the text.

To display the Line Differences bar, click and then click Line Differences.

Scroll bar

Colored blocks in the left scroll bar indicate the location in the script of lines that are different:

	a line of SQL that exists only in the object script on the left
	a line of SQL that exists only in the object script on the right
	a line of SQL that exists in both object scripts, but is different

Searching and copying the creation script

To search the SQL statements, right-click in the relevant box, and click Find.

To repeat a search in the other data source, click either Find in target or Find in source.

The search is not case-sensitive.
