Synchronize Table Structure
Use structure synchronization to align the structure properties of the compared tables.
- Compare the structure of the specified tables. See Compare Table Structures
- Analyze the compare result and decide which record(s) you want to synchronize:
- To synchronize a single column, click anywhere on the property row.
- To synchronize all columns of the table, multi-select. There are several ways to multi-select:
- Press CTRL and left-click.
- Multi-select all the different columns on the right side by using the keyboard shortcut CTRL +A.
- Multi-select all the different columns on the left side by using the keyboard shortcut CTRL +A.
NOTE: Multi-selection synchronization can only be made in one direction. The green color indicates the source record. One of the direction keys is correspondingly unavailable.
- Determine whether you want to perform synchronizing or just create the synchronization script:
- Press Generate SQL toolbar button to execute the synchronization immediately. In this case the created script is displayed in the text editor registered in your system as the default text editor (Notepad, in most cases). The script can be edited, saved and executed later.
- Release Generate SQL toolbar button to create the synchronization script. In this case the synchronization is being performed immediately.
- Click on one of the horizontal arrows indicating the direction of the synchronization.
