New/Edit Project Overview

This page describes the common New/Edit Project workflow used across SQL Delta products. Most project editing behavior is shared. The main differences are connection details, platform terminology, and a smaller number of engine-specific project options.

Common workflow

  1. Choose the project type: Schema Compare, Data Compare, or Schema View.
  2. Define the source and target connections, or for Schema View define the single connection to inspect.
  3. Test the connection, then choose the database or snapshot to use in the project.
  4. Review any mapping, filters, and project options that change how the project loads, compares, or scripts.
  5. Save the project and run it, or keep editing if you want to adjust the configuration before the first run.

Where products differ

  • SQL Server: most of the existing screenshots and detailed connection examples align with SQL Server projects.
  • MySQL: projects are usually more database-centric and may require SSL or TLS configuration depending on the server.
  • Oracle: object ownership and schema language matter more, so shared pages that say schema often map more closely to owner context.

Use these detailed pages when the shared flow is not enough:
