SQL Data Compare 12.3 release notes
Published 10 April 2017
What's new in SQL Data Compare 12.3
Select a Git revision as a data source
When using the SQL Source Control data source it is now possible to compare to a historical git revision.
This feature requires SQL Source Control 5.5.4 or later
12.3.3.4490 - May 8th 2017
Features
- The "My Projects" window can now be opened from the toolbar
- The 'Use checksum comparison' and 'Treat empty string as NULL' options can now be used together. Comparing a NULL value and empty string will cause the table checksums to be different, but Data Compare should then treat these values as equal when comparing the tables.
