  1. Respect Marked items for Undo

    In the Source Control window I check severall objects and then, when I right click on Undo, a new window opens that only keeps one of the selected objects checked. And this new "Undo" window does not show code differences between DB and Source control. This forces me to Undo each object one at a time. Please keep all selected objects when using the Undo option

    This is already possible in the tool:

    It’s the row selections that are recognised by this feature. So you need to use Shift or Ctrl to select the items you’d like to undo, then right click and select undo. This will result in the entire selection being checked in the next screen.

  2. Please support SSDT projects linking to source control

    supporting SSDT projects with Redgate Source control will allow developers to use the tool of their choice (Redgate or SSDT) when developing database enhancements etc.

  3. When installing Source Control for Oracle, be able to set / configure where the WorkingBases and Transients folders are created.

    By default, Source Control for Oracle creates the WorkingBases and Transients (along with other associated files and folders) in the users Windows profile (C:\Users<user name>\AppData\Local\Red Gate\Source Control for Oracle).

    In some environments the C: drive is configured to be minimal size (just OS and some required applications).

    Being able to configure the paths where the WorkingBases and Transients (along with other associated files and folders) would to free up disk space in environments where the C:\ is configured to minimal disk space.

  9. Use a reasonable complexity requirement for a password on this website

    Your policy is:
    Your new password must contain:
    ◾At least 8 characters
    ◾At least 1 lower-case letter
    ◾At least 1 upper-case letter
    ◾At least 1 number
    ◾At least 1 special character

    Are you NUTS!?! Not even my bank requires all that. How about 3 out of 5.

    Thank you for your feedback. However I’m afraid the password policy to which you are referring is beyond Redgate’s control; it is dictated and enforced by Uservoice, a third party platform which we use for collecting, and responding to, feedback from users.

  10. SSMS Object Explorer filter database

    I'd like the ability to filter unwanted databases out of the treeview in Object Explorer.

    I work with SQL instances which contain 100+ databases but I'll only be working with approx. 5 of them. It would save me a huge amount of time if only the databases I wanted to work with were shown.

    This would also be useful for anyone connecting to a SQL instance for shared web hosting as they'll likely only be interested in a single database out of the hundreds that would be listed in SSMS.

    This is already available in SSMS. (I think from v16+.) Just click the Databases folder in the Object Explorer and then click on the filter icon at the top of the Object Explorer to the right of the Connect drop down.

  11. Changes to synonyms are not detected

    We use synonyms when accessing data through linked servers. If the synonym is changed to use a new linked server Source Control does not detect that change.

  12. Provide tool to merge MigrationHistory

    Using Migrations V2:

    In one database, Developer A makes some changes, adds a Migration Script, and then checks in.
    In a second database (linked to the same source control location), Developer B makes some different changes and adds a different, unrelated, migration script. Now, before B checks in, they want to get A's changes. They go to the "Get Latest" tab, and they see that the Redgate.MigrationHistory TVF has conflicts and needs to be merged.

    The options are "Keep Mine" or "Take theirs", but neither of those will work because MigrationHistory needs to be merged. The "Merge" button won't work,…

    Hi Wesley, First of all let me apologize for the cursory decline. We really appreciate the thought you have put into this and the time you’ve given it with support.

    The reason we are not expecting to implement your request is that we are now taking a different approach with migrations. Please see http://redgate.uservoice.com/forums/39019-sql-source-control/suggestions/2299881-migrations-support-for-git-mercurial for more information.

    We would love to have you take a look at what we’re developing, though. Would you like to try out some merge scenarios with the new storage format?

    Best regards,
    Elizabeth Ayer
    Product Manager, SQL Source Control

  13. Unable to Connect your databases to your source control system

    I get the message "Connect your databases to your source control system" yet I have selected the database. The video at http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-source-control/ is irrelevant as it assumes the software works.
    Not the best impression during evaluation.

  14. Need to deploy from Git Source Control Repository to Target Databases

    Need to deploy from Git Source Control Repository to Target Databases

    I use a shared Dev database and I work on multiple issues and versions of our software at the same time and am using Git to keep track of all the changes that go with each issue I'm working on. However, when QA asks me to deploy the changes relating to one specific issue to their QA environments, I have to manually go through all the changes in our shared database and determine which of the changes I made relate to that issue. In Git, I create a branch…

    These kinds of deployment scenarios are handled by SQL Compare (for manual deployments) or SQL Change Automation (for more automated/scripted deployments). SQL Source Control is intended for the dev side of your database change management process, linking your development database to a version control system.

  15. SQL Source Control Git Hook check causing commits failure is resulting in improper object commits

    I created a Git hook to check the commit message format, when i place an improper commit message it fails to commit and then when i check for pending changes again I cant find those objects which failed causing an error due to commit message. How to resolve and get back my changes to be in place to commit.

  16. Would like the ability to shelve changes in Vault

    I realize that there is a request for the same in TFS, perhaps the different source control vendor doesn't make this a different request? In any event, we would like to shelve changes and we use Vault.

  17. Require comments PRE-commit

    I understand a hook can be added to SVN so if a commit is made without a comment it will throw an error and fail - From an interface point of view it would be nice the commit couldn't even be made (i.e. the button was disabled if a "require comments" option was set).

  19. Ability to shelve items in TFS.

    TFS lets the user "shelve" items before checking them in. A way to save them while they are still inprocess or not code reveiwed yet. It would be nice if SQL Source Control let us shelve the items instead of checking it in - with the same functionality we get when shelving through Source Control Explorer in Visual Studio.

    often when right-clicking an object in the Object Explorer, instead of seeing the menu, one of the SQL Source Control objects is 'automatically' selected and triggered.

    Hello! We’re going to believe that this was actually a hardware issue, not specific to SQL Source Control.

    If we’re wrong, please let us know, and we’ll be happy to reopen it!
