Look on the schema compare screen. Among the options is a place
to ignore whitespace. If you check that, the ones that only differ by
whitespace won’t even show up in the results.

Subject: [toad] Compare schemas problem
When I compare schemas from 2 instances, all my
code objects are listed as different. Show Difference Details tells me that
there is one extra blank line just before the final '/' in the code objects of
one instance.
The only difference I can think of is that instance is characterset AL32UTF8,
and the other is WE8MSWIN1252. No such problem for two instances with WE8MSWIN1252.
(The first instance was "converted" from the second.)
Very tedious to inspect all those code objects individually. (Oddly, no such
problem comparing single code objects, only when using compare schemas.)
Here's a suggestion that might help with this, and might also be pretty useful
generally.
In "File Comparison Rules"/"Define Minor", add an option to
"ignore blank lines".
Oh yeah, I'm using Toad 9.6.1.1 and instances are all Oracle 10g.
