What does the SQL Server edition bring together?+
T-SQL query tabs, record editing and mapped imports, ER design, selected-row comparison, masked data copy, schema review, activity and blocking inspection, and supported server-login and database-user permissions.
Can I inspect the query behind a waiting session?+
The activity tools show available session identifiers, users, state, elapsed time and SQL text. Lock contention shows waiting lock information and blocking process IDs where the server supplies them. Termination requires explicit confirmation and the necessary permissions.
How does SQL Server schema rehearsal work?+
Supported plans run inside a transaction that is rolled back. Rehearsals can acquire locks, and transaction-incompatible operations need separate review. Read the planned T-SQL and warnings before confirming an apply operation.
Does selected-row comparison audit the entire database?+
No. It compares a bounded set of records in selected tables with common primary keys. Review identical, changed and missing rows and the generated synchronization SQL within that scope.
How are logins and database users handled?+
A server login identifies access at server scope; a database user represents access inside a database and may map to a login. dbHydrate distinguishes these contexts when reviewing supported roles and grants, preserving existing DENY entries and inherited access.
