Database synchronization warnings and messages in ApexSQL Diff and ApexSQL Diff for MySQL -
Description
ApexSQL Diff and ApexSQL Diff for MySQL have the Summary and warnings step in their database Synchronization wizard that provides warnings to a user before the synchronization of the destination data sources is started. -

Description
To get to the Summary and warnings step, where all pre-sychronization warnings will be listed, first, the source and destination data sources need to be set, and the Compare button needs to be clicked:
Quick tip:
If there is a need to filter out objects before the comparison, check out how to narrow database schema comparison and synchronization to affected objects only
Once the comparison is finished, check all desired objects for the database synchronization process and click the Synchronize button from the Home tab:
In the first step of the Synchronization wizard, the synchronization direction is shown:
The second step is the Dependencies step in which dependent objects are included by default, but if there is no need for them, they can be unchecked and therefore excluded from the synchronization process:
Quick tip:
Omitting dependent objects from the synchronization script can cause failure in the database synchronization process and corresponding warnings will be shown in the last step of the Synchronization wizard before the synchronization process is started
The Output options step of the Synchronization wizard provides various output actions and corresponding output options that can be set, depending on the destination data source type, but in this case, when a SQL database is a destination and the Synchronize now action is chosen, the Save a copy of the synchronization script and Backup database before synchronization1 options are not checked and the Next button is clicked:
Finally, the last step of the Synchronization wizard provides the Summary and warnings step and as shown in the screenshot below, it reported 3 high and 3 medium warnings that could be potential issues during the database synchronization process:
If there are high warnings in the last step of the Synchronization wizard, like in this example, even when the Synchronize button is clicked, the Warning dialog will be shown as a precautionary measure before running the database synchronization:
Now, let’s look at the list of all potential warnings and messages that could appear in the Summary and warnings step of the Synchronization wizard, along with cases description when these warnings and messages could appear:
Priority Warning Message Case Low Application role {0} will be created with default password Application role password cannot be retrieved. Default password will be added. You should specify password manually When the password can’t be retrieved, and the default one is generated Low Cannot alter Identity [{0}] on table {1}. Table will be rebuilt Source and destination tables differ in identity attributes. Identity columns cannot be altered. Table will be rebuilt to synchronize this difference When the table has differences in identities Low User [{0}] will be created with default password [{1}] User [{0}] has been created with default password [{1}]. When the password can’t be retrieved, and the default is generated Medium {0} {1} cannot be decrypted. Their dependencies won’t be included into the script Encrypted object {1} cannot be decrypted in SQL Server 2005/2008. Object dependencies won’t be included into the script. Script execution may result in errors Additional warning for the high warning regarding description below Medium Cannot alter column [{0}] with associated XML schema collection on table {1} Column in source table contains associated xml schema collection. The table will be rebuilt to synchronize this difference The table is recreated instead of altered if it has differences in XML schema collections for columns Medium Cannot alter computed column [{0}] on table {1} Source and destination tables differ in computed columns. Computed columns cannot be altered. The column will be recreated to synchronize this difference When the table has differences in computed columns Medium Cannot synchronize CLR object or data type {0} to database with version less than 90 Cannot script CLR object or data type to database with version less than 90. SQL object of an appropriate type with empty body will be created When synchronizing CLR object or data type from SQL database 2005 to SQL database 2000 Medium Column order in table {0} will be changed Source and destination tables differ in column order and option Ignore Column Order is ON. Table will be rebuilt to make columns order equa When compared tables have differences in column order Medium Dropping column [{0}].[{1}] may cause data loss Script contains Drop column statement. Dropping column(s) may cause data loss When a table column is dropped Medium Dropping the schema {0} may cause data loss Dropping a schema may cause data loss. Please set Include Dependencies ON or select the objects that belong to this schema manually When schema object is dropped Medium Enabling Change tracking in table {0} may cause script failure Synchronization script contains actions which enable Change tracking in table {0}. This change may cause script failure if database change tracking is disabled When synchronizing Change tracking feature Medium Fulltext index will be added to the table {0}. Transaction will be split Fulltext index will be added to the database. Make sure fulltext is enabled on the target database. Please note that fulltext indexes cannot be created within user transaction and database synchronization script will be split into several transaction When synchronizing fulltext indexes Medium New user {0} will be created in destination database New user {0} will be created in destination database. Make sure that appropriate login, certificate, asymmetric key, windows user or group exist When creating a new SQL user object Medium Not all objects are loaded due to Object filter settings Synchronization script execution may fail because not all objects required for successful creation of dependent objects are loaded due to Object filter settings When the Object filter feature is used in the New project window Medium Not FileTable table {0} cannot be converted to FileTable.

Table {0} will be rebuilt to synchronize the difference When there are differences in FileTables Medium Synchronization of assembly [{0}] may fail Synchronization of assembly [{0}] may cause script failure in database with version less than 100 When synchronizing assembly to SQL database version earlier than 2008 Medium Synchronization of CLR type [{0}] may fail Synchronization script contains actions which creates CLR type with class which already has a bound CLR type. These changes may cause script failure When a table has columns with CLR types and when there are differences in CLR name of the assembly name Medium The filegroup of table {0} will be changed Source and destination tables [{0}] differ in file groups. Table will be rebuilt to synchronize the difference. (You can use Ignore Filegroups/Dataspaces option to ignore this difference) When the table has differences in filegroups Medium Using Exclude schema/owner option may cause script failure Using Exclude schema/owner option from Manage owners option group may cause script failure for [{0}] object When the Exclude schema option is selected in the Options tab od the New project window High {0} {1} cannot be decrypted.
