Microsoft.Data.Schema.Tools.Compare.Schema Namespace

  • Article

This namespace contains classes that are used by the Schema Compare window of Visual Studio Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) to compare and re-create databases.

There are two extensibility points in this namespace where a developer can extend the Schema Compare window to compare and create databases for new specific models. The extension points are the SchemaCompareScriptService class and the SchemaCompareSettingsService class.
