  1. Migration Scipts picking up non-selected commits

    When creating the migration script if the developer goes through "cherry-picking" the commit(s) that they wish to include in the migration script. It appears that non-selected commits that are between the selected ones are being picked up.
    For example if the developer chooses commit 1 and 3 and skips 2 the objects in commit 2 are still showing in the migration script.

    I would like to point out that this appears to be a bug and not a feature request, but i am still using 3 votes...

      • Installer to offer option to remove older version log folders

        Suggest that the SSCv3 installer NUKE all prior version Log folders e.g., SSCv2 and SSCv1, please...(or at least offer us the choice to have them nuked...) Had Stuart not posted (at http://redgate.uservoice.com/forums/39019-sql-source-control/suggestions/2526239-log-files), I'd have those two folders around for ever...

        • Add an Options Dialog to allow configuration of comparison options

          SQL Source Control v3.0.5.7 allows you to configure the same comparison options available in SQL Compare's Project Options dialog.

          Comparison options can now be set via a configuration file in you database repository's Working Base folder. The following Knowledge Base support article describes how to use this configuration file:
          http://www.red-gate.com/SupportCenter/GeneralContent/knowledgebase/SQL_Source_Control/KB201202000521

          The plan in the future is to provide an options dialog to allow you to configure the comparison options that are changed most often, but we believe this configuration file procedure should help users in the interim.

          I've added this idea to UserVoice to gauge the demand for a dialog…

          • TFS Migration script unusable with custom port

            When clicking the "Add a Migration Script" link on the Commit Changes tab, the TFS url and port are read only. As we use TFS on port 80 instead of port 8080, we cannot use this feature.

            The same applies when setting up the link on the Setup tab.

            • DataLink

              Just view the tables checked as static.
              Comes in handy when comparing to other Databases (hence same database but for instance on another level -> DEV-TST-ACC-PRD)

              • Create migration script without changes to any database objects

                It would be great if you could add just a migrations script to your source control without any related change to any object in the database. This would be very use ful when tyou have tabel A with column 1 and 2 and i column 2 you want to replace all 'A' with 'a' or something.

                • Do not check all the items to be committed by default

                  After the list of change to be committed get refreshed, every item get checked by default, even those I just unchecked. Is it possible to not check the item if it was already in in the list and unchecked, or just mark them all as uncheck by default instead of being checked.

                  The issue is when I have item that I don't want to commit right now (unstable, unfinished view, etc), I have to uncheck them EVERY time the list is refreshed, which is, every often since the list refresh each time you click on a new object in SSMS.…

                  • Commit data and schema changes separetly

                    A table is under source control and the data of that table is linked as static data.
                    Both table definition and data has been changed and are visible in the 'Commit changes' tab.
                    Since the data is just edited and changed for development purpose it should not be committed.
                    But in this situation it is impossible to only commit de table definition.
                    When checking the table the data is also checked (and the other way around also).

                    It would be nice to be able to commit the changes separetly.

                    • Stop offering upgrades as if they were updates.

                      You software goes out and looks for a update every time it's started and then pops up a little notice. When I clicked on this thinking I was getting an update to my existing software, it installed a new trial version and uninstalled my older licensed version. This is not only irritating, I think it is underhanded and reprehensible.

                      • Migration Script Rollbacks

                        The only obstacle I have with switching to SQL Source Control 3 as a complete solution to source controlling and deploying is its inability to rollback custom code in a Migration Script. I would like when creating a Migration Script the ability to create a Reverse Migration Script so that if I use SQL compare to roll a code push back to a previous version in source control, it will grab the reverse script the same way as it grabs the migration script currently when pushing.

                        For example, if my migration script has an update statement in it to modify…

                        • Better support for transactions and error handling in migration scripts

                          The migration scripts that are generated don't fit in well to the other code that SQL Compare generates to update a database. In general, the SQL Compare script will have the script that SQL Compare generated, followed by the migration script, and then more SQL Compare generated script. SQL Compare will wrap its sections with BEGIN TRAN and COMMIT TRAN, and have lots of error handling, but the migration script has no error handling and is not part of the larger transactions. This can cause problems where the scripts succeed partially and it can be hard to recover from that.

                                  With a team of 6 using source control, we are finding the performance of both SSMS on individual machines and our developement SQL box to be crippled by Source control.

                                  Our developement server is showing literally hundreds of connections to TempDB from Sql source Control which is slowing the box considerably

                                  • On screen alterts

                                    On the commit tab, if I select any row where changed by is not me a warning appears at the top "Some of the changes may not have been made by you"

                                    This has the effect of pushing everything down the screen and what was under the mouse is now moved.

                                    This is extremely annoying, it would be better to have the warning appear in a dedicated area of the screen that doesn't cause it to change.

                                    • Automated Deployment based on TFS work item status

                                      I would like a way for SQL Source control to leverage TFS work item status and facilitate automated deployment similar to lab management.

                                      • Partition scheme Bug?

                                        We have a partition scheme setup using a function

                                        CREATE PARTITION SCHEME [partitionSchemeSystemId]
                                        AS PARTITION [partitionFunctionSystemId]
                                        TO ([PRIMARY], [PRIMARY], [PRIMARY], [PRIMARY], [PRIMARY], [PRIMARY], [PRIMARY], [PRIMARY], [PRIMARY], [PRIMARY], [PRIMARY], [PRIMARY], [PRIMARY], [PRIMARY], [PRIMARY], [PRIMARY], [PRIMARY], [PRIMARY], [PRIMARY], [PRIMARY])

                                        when SourceControl has populated SVN it has added an extra partition to the scheme

                                        Sourcecontrol sees these as being the same between the DB used to populate SVN but when we link a new instance of the database to sourcecontrol it identifies a conflict

                                        • Support CA Software Change Manager (previously known as Allfusion Harvest)

                                          We're using CA's SCM for our source control. Would be nice if SQL Source Control could add support for it.
