This means that you can use 55 heterogeneous and 11 homogeneous database pairs. That totals to an impressive number of 66 database pairs. For all of them you can perform for data and schema operations such as migration, synchronization, and comparison.

After establishing the connection to the Netezza database instance, you should notice the bright new set of icons that we’ve used for this platform. Check the left side of the following image.

New Features

We updated the list of column types that you cannot use as a part of the sorting key.

For schema comparison and synchronization operations, we added ‘Shared libraries’ to the list of object types that you can either include or exclude from the operation. Check the image below to see where you can find this option.
