Description

Hi
I have a big database with Thousands of tables and views and SYNC DATABASE process (SQL SERVER) is taking too much time (sometimes it takes more than 12 hours) making the whole database lock.
It would be great if I can disable this sync allowing to manually do it and also having the weekly schedule option.

Thanks.

Start by tracing the SQL Server database sync process and its scheduling controls. Determine how disabling automatic sync, triggering it manually, and scheduling weekly syncs should behave, then add coverage for the resulting settings and schedules.
