Reporting an issue

What to send us

A report with these five things in it can usually be reproduced the same day. Without them it turns into several rounds of questions.

  1. Version numbers

    The SchemaSync version from Help ▸ About, and your MySQL or MariaDB server version.

  2. What you expected, and what happened

    One sentence each is enough. If a comparison result looks wrong, tell us what you believe the correct answer is.

  3. The object definition

    For a comparison or generated-SQL problem, the `SHOW CREATE` output for the object from both databases.

  4. The exact error

    The full message, including any MySQL error number. A screenshot of the dialog works.

  5. The diagnostics log

    Help ▸ Diagnostics writes it to `%APPDATA%\SchemaSync\logs`. Credentials are redacted, but read it before sending — it contains your object names.

Run against both databases
-- The object definition, exactly as the server reports itSHOW CREATE TABLE `your_table`; -- Server version and the settings that most often explain a differenceSELECT VERSION();SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character_set_server';SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'collation_server';SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'sql_mode';
Output from both the source and the target tells us almost everything we need.

Please do not send us credentials

We never need a username, password or a live connection to diagnose a problem. Object definitions and the log are enough. If you believe you have found a security issue, email security@schemasync.in rather than using a public channel.
