  1. 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.

    We desperately need the ability to supported gated check-ins so breaking changes do not get into source control.

  3. Use TortoiseSVN overlay icons (green check, red exclamation, etc)

    Rather than blue/red circles, why not use the tried and true Tortoise SVN overlay icons? Green check, red exclamation, blue plus, etc.

    I’m afraid that we will not be implementing this suggestion. SQL Source Control works with many different version control systems, not just SVN, so the icons which are familiar to SVN users may not be familiar to users of other version control systems.

  4. add native support for Seapine Surround and...

    Currently the XML hooking method for non-native Source Control Systems is not very usefull for Surround SCM. I would like to suggest maybe adding more support to it. Also when linking a database to the Source Control System It would be nice to have the option to link tables, stored procedures, views..so on to specific repositories, instead of everything going into the same place. Also to be able to rename the default folders that the tool creates in the working directory would be nice in case there is a special naming convention(for instance procedures instead of stored procedures). A moule…

    I’m declining this because it covers multiple different requests, which makes it difficult to track and work out which features people are voting for. If you’d still like to see these requests addressed, please create new requests for them separately.

  5. support for SQL Compact Edition in SQL Compare

    Increasingly, developers will be using the latest version of SQL Compact Edition to do local development, and want to use SQL Compare to generate an update script for the server.

  7. 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).

  9. Support Visual Source Safe (VSS)

    We are using Visual Source Safe and we really want to source control our databases. We are not upgrading or changing our source control system anytime soon. Visual Source Safe works fine for us. We do not want to install a seperate source control system just to use this tool.

  10. I like this very much. However I am experiencing one problem. (CPU usage is too high)

    RG Source Control "seems" to hog the machine with the databases. The CPU goes 75% +, disk activity goes abnormally high, Logical reads is high, compiles is high, etc. (according to Quest Spotlight on SQL Server). Also, users are having queries time out.

    I can close SSMS and the machine returns to normal (CPU around 10%, other metrics low).

    I will have to remove it for now until this is corrected/changed.

    I am closing this request as it’s now six years old. If anyone is experiencing similar issues on the latest version of SQL Source Control then please feel free to open a new request or support call.

  11. Add support to SQL Source Control for generating upgrade scripts to a SQL Azure database

    If you have only the SQL Source control product, you can use it to upgrade your production SQL server database. But if you switch to Azure SQL, you lose this capability. I think the option to generate upgrade scripts that are Azure compatible would be great!

    We do not recommend connecting a production database to SQL Source Control. We recommend using SQL Compare for deployment and you can deploy to Azure databases with SQL Compare.

  12. Error: Transaction context in use by another session

    My setup went smoothly. I create a new sp on datatabase server, "Comit Changes" then I can see it in TFS. I run into error when I modified the sp from TFS, then go to SQL Source Control and do try to "get Latest". First I got error MSDTC not available, I then started MSDTC services, now i got different error "Transaction context in use by another session". Can you help?

    I still have some databases that are on SQL Server 2000 and we are not planning to upgrade these soon, but we still do some development and maintenance against these. I would like to use this tool with my SQL Server 2000 databases.

    SQL Server 2000 has now been out of extended support with MS for over a year, so it is unfortunately not the case that we will consider supporting it in SOC.

  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. Bug (shared model): Tables with extended properties still highlighted after commit.

    SSC 3.1.0.4829
    SQL Server 10.50.4000
    Shared model

    After adding an extended property to a table the recognition and the commit work fine. But after having committed the changes the table will be remarked as having pending changes in the object explorer of SSMS. In the commit changes tab there are no changes to commit which is correct.

    Maybe also extended properties with other objects are affected.

    This looks like something we’d prefer to handle as a bug report than a feature request – if you are still experiencing this problem, please email support@red-gate.com with the details.

  16. Modifying a table makes it disappear from the tables list

    Whenever I modify an existing table, the table disappears from the Object Explorer. If I refresh the tables list in the Object Explorer it reappears...but c'mon, that's ridiculous. The only thing you should be doing to the Object Explorer is marking items that have been modified. If you want to help here, then refresh the list when I add something so it appears (something Microsoft never implemented).

    Note: this only happens when you FIRST edit a table (i.e. subsequent edits to the table after your modified icon is on the table icon don't cause this issue).

    We have attempted to fix this behaviour a few times now – if it’s still occurring, we would like to investigate this as a bug rather than a feature request. If you have seen this recently, can you please email support@red-gate.com with details?

  17. Allow comparing/synching static data from source control

    Currently when you try and publish static data, it only supports comparing the data in the source database, there is no option to use source control. Can it compare directly with source control and be limited to only the tables that are configured for static data?
