If the developer didn't write a description of the change, it says 'No description given. Naughty developer!' Shaming works quite well. They generally write descriptions now. http://ayende.com/3475/code-reviews-are-not-just-about-the-code#comment3http://ayende.com/3475/code-reviews-are-not-just-about-the-code#comment3Fri, 01 Aug 2008 08:32:38 GMTThomas, I tend to use Red Gate's tools. http://ayende.com/3475/code-reviews-are-not-just-about-the-code#comment2http://ayende.com/3475/code-reviews-are-not-just-about-the-code#comment2Thu, 31 Jul 2008 22:11:52 GMTI found multiple products by the name of "SQL Compare". Can you give me a link or company name? I've desperately searched for a good Database Diff program some time ago, but did not find a real good one. I've even written my own little tool to help me with these tasks....
