Red Gate is running a free beta program for our next version of SQL Compare. If you currently have SQL Compare or if you’d like to try SQL Compare for the first time, now’s your chance to try out new features and leave your feedback. Also we will be randomly selecting one lucky person from all the feedback we have received to win a license of SQL Compare v11 and a $100 amazon voucher.

This is a beta release of SQL Compare 11 and includes further support for SQL Server 2014 plus bug fixes. This is not a finished product, but rather a beta / prototype that may work in your particular environment.

You can install SQL Compare 11 side by side with SQL Compare 10, if later you decide to uninstall SQL Compare 11, that will not affect SQL Compare 10.

This version includes additional support for the new SQL Server 2014 features. For example, SQL Compare can now compare and deploy:

Memory Optimised tables and Natively compiled stored procedures (if you want SQL Server to run up to 33 times after you are going to want to be deploying these)

Clustered columnstore indexes

Lots of fixes for customer issues you have contacted us about
