That warning is also present when there are external data sources or tables that can't be updated, even if they are excluded. My workaround is to create a new temporary project, update everything except the externals to it, then compare it to the database.

This helpful answer could be worded better but it does work when you have references in your database to other databases and your errors are being generated because of that.

What Prashant P is saying is instead of comparing a database on a server to a database project in your solution you can use the database project in the solution to create a database I create it on my local sql server instance and then compare the two databases.

Yes but in this case, if all you really need is the comparison, you don't really need the "Update" Button to be active. KarmaEDV true, but that part's a bit academic because the answer still helps if you do need Update. Also with an error like that, who knows whether the comparison can be relied on. In my case I did need Update, and by restoring a "reasonable" backup to my local server and running the compare between the two dbs first, I managed to bypass the Schema Compare bug and get the Update button enabled.

And after applying that update, the issue was resolved and I could compare and update from the project as originally intended. It seems your database project has sqlcmd variables without default values. Stanislav Stanislav 3 3 silver badges 11 11 bronze badges.

If so then click "Switch source and target" button. Workaround 2: In my case, the Update button was greyed out because of there were errors warnings about a view that I created and added to the project earlier.
