Refresh from database (MySQLToSQL)

  • Article

The Refresh from Database dialog box lets you select which objects to refresh from the MySQL database. Rows in the dialog box are color coded based on the state of the metadata:

  • If the object metadata has changed locally and in the MySQL database, the row is blue.

  • If the object metadata has changed in the MySQL database but not in SSMA, the row is yellow.

  • If the object metadata has changed locally, but not in the MySQL database, the row is green.

  • If the object is new in the MySQL database, the row is pink.

You can specify default object refresh settings in the Project Settings dialog box. For more information, see Project Settings (Synchronization) (MySQLToSQL)

To access the Refresh from Database dialog box, right-click an object in MySQL Metadata Explorer and click Refresh from Database.
