Project Settings (Synchronization) (MySQLToSQL)
The Synchronization project settings let you configure how MySQL database objects are synchronized with SQL Server database objects.
The default actions specify default settings for refreshing objects from the MySQL database and for synchronizing objects with the SQL Server database. For more information, see Refresh from database (MySQLToSQL)
You can access two different Synchronization pages that contain the same settings:
To specify settings for all future SSMA projects, on the Tools menu, click DefaultProject Settings, and then click Synchronization at the bottom of the left pane.
To specify settings for the current project, on the Tools menu, click Project Settings, and then click Synchronization at the bottom of the left pane.
