Visual Schema Compare for SDK Style SQL Database Projects in Visual Studio and SSMS

Keeping your SQL database project in sync with a live database is one of the most common — and most tedious — challenges in database development. If you have ever manually compared CREATE TABLE scripts line by line, or tried to figure out which stored procedures drifted out of sync between your source code and development or production environments, Visual Schema Compare was built for you.

Headline: Copilot Edited an Ad Into My PR

Me: I saw something like this once with SQL Server Management Studio. I was equally appalled.

Why does #MSSQLServer allow table indexes that have no name? How are they created? What is their use?

I'm shocked!

SHOCKED, I say!

A Microsoft update changed my existing settings. I prefer the 'Classic Connection Dialog' because...it's what I've used for eleventy billion years. But, no! MS has to fuck up the end user experience for everyone.

Sigh.

Every time I update a Microsoft tool I depend on (for work), I'm filled with dread wondering what gratuitous horse crap they're going to foist on me.

More Copilot?
Banner Ads for MS services?
Changes to keyboard shortcuts?
New UI where everything is moved around and difficult to find?

It never ends...

I wonder in which version of SQL Server Management Studio #SSMS or #SQL it will be before #Microsoft finally fix the most irritating bug...

"Description: Failed to compiled scripts contained in the package."

Failed to compileD??? Grr!

When I first heard about AI/Copilot inclusion with SSMS, I voiced my displeasure on LinkedIn. It was not well received.

But seeing that ad in SSMS made me feel vindicated with regards to my criticism of MS. They have become so terrible. 🙁
