3.1EA1 database compare: add options to skip partitions comparison

Question

I just tried the new comparison tool, and it works far better than the old one. Just, I didn't find an option to skip comparing the partitions, I mean how many partitions there are and their names/boundaries. For example if I am comparing a development database to a test one, I don't want to change how many partitions there are or their names, because they could be different - for example we use partitions to implement a rolling window of n days (partitions names are created form the partition dates), and n can be very different form the dev database to the test one and especially on production ones.

Thank you for trying our ea 3.1 release and providing feedback to the database diff utility.

We are looking at what it would take to provide the ability to ignore partitioning, so keep an eye out for it.
