• SDC-1642: SQL Data Compare will trim file names generated for deployment scripts if they would exceed the maximum Windows path length.

• SC-7750: Using the <Create Database...> command no longer causes an error when the other side of the comparison is a backup or source control repository.

Known issues

SDC-1912: Version 11.2.0 of the SQL Data Compare command line does not correctly recognise options specified using the /options argument. It ignores the options, and emits the following message:

Warning: unrecognised SQL Data Compare option

This bug is fixed in version 11.2.1.
