Allow me to specify a subset of columns for static data like I can in SQL Data Compare
I do not want to source control certain columns in my reference tables (e.g., update date/times since these are different on each server and get set by a DEFAULT).

Is there any update on this? We are having to add a lot of steps to our process because this feature is missing. Granted, SDC can do the work, but now we are forking our work by tool (1 method for schema, 1 for data) instead of usage (1 method for the "always like this" items and another for the "where are we deploying it?" items).

I don't know of an orgranization that does not require audit columns on all of their lookup tables (static data). Not having the ability to do this makes the static data mechanism useless for organizations with auditing standards.

Hi, just wondering if anything happened with this now static data is live?

The problem we have is that the current EAP builds of SQL Source Control aren't usable because of the limited data support.
We use the tools in the following way:
1. A single SVN repository
2. SQL Source Control for developers to check-in changes to this source tree.
3. Custom SQL Compare and SQL Data Compare scripts to deploy changes from the repository to our test, staging, production environmentsTesting we've done with the pre-release SQL Source Control have failed because it always tries to overwrite the data in the repository.
We won't be able to use the new release unless either we can completely disable data support in SQL Source Control, or the data support is enhanced to allow us to specify which columns to source-control.
