xSQL Schema Compare - Entity Filters

In cases when the two SQL Server databases being compared have a large number of objects and you know that a good percentage of those objects are the same on both of those databases it may be beneficial to only compare a subset of the objects.

xSQL Schema Compare provides a very flexible and powerful facility called entity filters that allow you to specify which objects you wish to compare and synchronize based on the object type and the name of the object. An example of an entity filter is shown in the screen shot below:
Entity filters can be accessed from the context menu of the comparison results grid. Once a schema filter is set, it's definition is stored in the comparison session so if you run the same compare again you do not need to redefine the filters.
