Schema Compare vs Import Database Objects...

Question

When you have an empty database project, is the result of an "Import Database Objects And Settings" different than the result of doing a Schema Compare where the target is your local project and the source is the database you wish to import?  It seems like the Schema Compare method is more useful as it lets me review the changes before I write them to the project.  I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something by doing this, though.  Thanks!

Answer 1

From the tests I've run, they're the same. You just get more granular control over the compare, so it might be a better approach. Say, in my case, I want to remove logins from developers so that they're not maintained as a part of the core project, instead of doing an import, I do a compare and then just hit ignore on the logins. The other objects are all imported in the same way.

Answer 2

That's what I was hoping to hear.  Thanks!
