I want simple:
1. I like the Solution Explorer - Keep that
2. I would like to double click an item have it open, start typing and have it do an auto checkout
3. When I was done and checked it back in, I would like THAT script to be synchronized back to the server

This would be simple easy and faster than the synchronize method now. This product may buy me the history (source control), but it will cost me production. Not worth the tradeoff.

A long time ago I used a simple product called SQL IDE Xpress - worked perfectly. Toad bought them and ruined the whole thing. I've been looking ever since for a replacement.

I am currently evaluting your product to decide whether it should be purchased. After startup SQL Connect for Visual Studio is crashing when I try to preview its window. Apparently there is some kind of problem with how xaml is being parsed. Here's the stack trace:

When you right click on the project, it's possible to open it in SQL Compare. This is a great feature, as I love SQL Compare and it gives me full control on how to compare my project and database. But it only comes up with Red-Gate's default settings. I would love to have a feature that allows me to connect a SQL Compare project file to my SQL Connect project. I can then make all the compare settings for a specific project, save it, and join it to the SQL Connect project. Of course I can fire up the SQL Compare project from outside SQL Connect, but it's not so smooth.

I've been using SQL Compare and Data compare for years, and was planning to use the new SQL Server 2012/VS2010 Data Tools instead. But those MS tools are far from the quality of Red-Gate.

I've installed SQL Connect and I like the core concept. BUT I have hundreds of stored procedures which I have categorised in folders in a VS 2010 Database project. Great for better overview and control for my developers. Doing the same in SQL Connect is as I understand not possible. Is this something you consider as new functionality in SQL Connect? For now this is actually stopping me from buying the product for me and 4 other developers.
