When you first run the application you will see the main window divided into two panels – the SQL Servers panel on the left and a blank, nameless, multi tab panel on the right. This is the visible part of the workspace. Using the Edit menu options or the toolbar icons you can add or remove SQL Servers and databases in the workspace. Servers, databases and their respective objects are displayed on the SQL Servers panel of the workspace on a tree fashion.
Once you have added the servers and the databases you want to work with you can save the workspace so that next time you need to work with the same servers / databases you can just load the saved workspace.
What is saved on the workspace? SQL Servers, databases and connection information like authentication type for each server and time out settings are saved in the workspace. Other settings like comparison options, schema filters, color scheme etc. are application wide settings. They are not saved in the workspace but the application will remember those settings the way you had them the last time you used the application.
You can save as many workspaces as you want to accommodate different scenarios you work with. On the application settings you can instruct xSQL Object/xSQL Data Compare to load a certain workspace on startup.
