New in Change Director for SQL Server 2.0
Granular Object Selection for Compare - Version 1.x required a complete schema comparison of source and target database
- Version 2.0 allows users to optionally select the objects to compare to improve processing time
Additional Comparison Types - Compare Snapshot to DDL script
- Compare Snapshot to Snapshot
Middle-Tier Processing - Change Director supports the optional use of one or more middle tiers that can perform database comparisons, generate snapshots, and perform deployments and offload this processing from the client
Data Preservation on Change - Change Director can optionally backup data using BCP on changes to tables that would otherwise destroy data in a table (DROP Column, DROP/CREATE Table)
- Data can then be restored during a rollback
History of Schema Changes - Change Director now stores a complete history of all changes to all objects
- This information can be viewed globally, by Project, or by Object
Updated UI - General UI improvements
- Side-by-side object comparison
