When you've compared the data sources, SQL Data Compare displays the comparison results in the upper (Results) pane. The upper pane displays all the tables, views, and groups of row differences you can select for deployment. 
To compare the data sources again using the same project configuration, and update the comparison results, click  Refresh.

Objects are displayed grouped by how they differ between the two data sources, by whether they match what's typed in the Find box, or ungrouped. When you first run the comparison, the objects are grouped by Type of difference.

Object groups

To view the tables or views in a group, click  or click the grouping bar.

If you want to display the comparison results in a single list, in the Group by box, select No groups.

When objects are grouped by Type of difference, the Type column indicates the difference:

 tables or views with differences in their rows

 tables or views with identical rows only
