  • Database Open settings tab:
    • Database open/reload group allows you to change the behaviour you've chosen previously using Database reload dialog
    • Oracle section configures the list of system schemas for Oracle databases. It reduces the number of objects read from the database, objects that belong to specified schemas are excluded. Configured as comma-separated list.
  • Data diff settings tab configures default behavior for the Data diff tab:
    • Paging specifies default page size
    • String compare options defines the default state of ignore case and ignore leading and trailing whitespaces vertical toolbar action states
    • Local cache specifies folder for temporary data diff cache. Note that application cleans up this folder from time to time
  • Text diff settings tab:

  • Misc. settings tab:
    • Application appearance allows to setup some application UI settings:

      • Max tab header width specifies the maximum width of tab in pixel for the main application tab control
    • Ambiguous object names due to case differences specifies which names should be used for objects with case-insensitive names if there are some changes only in character case. Currently these settings are applied for the Batch data diff tab ('Table name' column) and for the Object list tab (Excel export - 'Name' column)
