  2. Tabular visualization of static data differences between database and repository

    A tabular visualization with the differentiation between "added" (only in database), "changed" (on both sides existing but with different data) and "removed" (only in repository) would help to check the differences and with a possibility to select certain differences which should be committed, it would also be more efficient that different developers can commit only their own changes on a table, which is linked regarding static data.
    In addition a possibility to hide the unchanged columns in the tabular visualization would also be really good.

  3. Add an extra input field for referencing work items instead of including #A[item number] in the comment

    Using TFS where a reference to a bug or work-item is enforced as a check-in prerequisite. When typing in a comment, it's easy to forget the #A... rule. especially since TFS has a #[item number] rule without the "A". In adition it is not clear how to refer to multiple items.
    An extra field instead of "comment syntax" would make life easier.

  4. Excluded objects should display an icon in the Object Browser.

    I have had to exclude some objects from my SQL Source Control project and I see that it says that in the Commit tab, but they really should be highlighted with an icon in the Object Explorer.

  5. Calculate changes on selected (and dependent) object(s) only

    When an object is right clicked in object explorer and "commit changes to source control", the source control window should only compare the current object and any depended objects, but it should not check the entire DB which is quite time consuming.

    Looks like this was already suggested in 2010 but was closed without proper resolution

    https://redgate.uservoice.com/forums/39019-sql-source-control/suggestions/915325-commit-single-changes

    Here is another suggestion from 2010 still open, but it looks like the behavior was a bit different at the time.

  6. Enter comments describing change for multiple object in one submit

    User should be able to enter comments describing change for multiple object in one submit. This will save time for the user to check-in stuff. Attaching a picture for suggested interface.

  7. Add a configuration so that we stop seeing dependencies popup if not needed

    We can configure SQL Source Control for setting the check box unchecked by default for dependencies popup. This should be extended one step further so we can eliminate that popup completely and reduce the number of clicks and save time.

  8. Add schema name to the commit screen

    The tool assumes everything is in the default dbo schema. We have numerous schemas so its difficult to selectively check things in. Please prefix the object name with the schema

  10. Encrypting the Stored Procedures and Functions in SQL Database

    Hello, I would like to suggest adding a feature to encrypt all stored procedures and functions in an SQL Database for one main purpose which is to protect the logic and code inside the database, and this is to protect the Copywrite of the developers' software. The encryption/decryption should be done using a password; as the decryption should be available for the development team only.

  11. commit template

    For the commit tempolate it would be nice if it loaded the the template configured for commits. See: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit#Documentation/git-commit.txt---templateltfilegt

    (another user asked about it here: https://forum.red-gate.com/discussion/86954/is-it-possible-to-support-git-template-feature, but it does not seem they requested it.)

  12. Stand-alone app

    I'd suggest rebuilding Red Gate SQL Source Control into a stand-alone application (similar to SQL Compare & SQL Data Compare), instead of a plug-in to SSMS.
    My SSMS has gotten awfully slow since installing SQL Source Control, even after unchecking the Changed Object & Static Data control options, AND setting EnableObjectLocking to FALSE under the hood.

    Consider that I'm working all day in SSMS, but I only need SQL Source Control maximum once or twice a day, when committing changes to Git.

    Kind regards,
    Christof

  13. Search across databases

    It would be super helpful to be able to search across all connected databases for checked out objects. We have 20+ databases connected to the source control and searching through each one separately is very painful and time-consuming. Thanks!

  15. Git worktree support

    I would like to see support for the git worktree feature. We often need to work on multiple branches at the same time, and this would help.

    I see someone else has also asked about this as a feature on your forums. (https://forum.red-gate.com/discussion/86826/is-it-possible-to-support-git-worktree-feature-for-sql-source-control)

  16. 'Modified' SVN Action over 'Replacing'

    Issue: In most cases, committing changes from the Commit tab marks 'Action' in SVN logs as 'Replacing' than 'Modified'. This is creating a major tree conflict and related problems for us when trying to merge changes between branches.

    Suggested feature: add option in settings to change this behavior so that Source Control will always do 'Modified' for existing objects than 'Replacing'.

  18. Option to ignore replicated objects

    Would be good if there was a checkbox to ignore replicated objects. If in the context of the DB (without going to the [distribution] database) you can't tell which objects are replicated, then at least an option to exclude the transactional replication spMSins%/spMSupd%/spMSdel% procedures without having to explicitly add them to the filter.

  19. Refresh-Bug: Locked objects are not notified on other computers

    I have found a bug that should be fixed to improve teamwork.

    These are the steps to reproduce the bug I found:

    Case 1
    1. Lock a DB object on machine A with user X
    2. Watch the DB object in machine B with user Z
    3. ☹ The locked-Icon does not apper on machine B (I have set the indicator update time to 5 seconds)

    Case 2
    1. Modify on machine A the locked DB-Object
    2. Execute the stored procedure
    3. 😊 The modified and locked icon does appear an machine B

    Case 3
    1. Modify on machine A…

  20. Allow git clones from the SQL Source Control UI

    Hi - we use git in Azure DevOps. I have a few options for cloning,

    1. command line (which tbh i dont use much),
    2. 'git gui' - which is reliable and easy
    3. clone using visual studio from azure devops which doesnt work too much.

    it would be nice to be able to do the clone from the redgate sql source control GUI though

    ALSO

    When linking the database it would be nice to have a shortcut to

    c:\users\username\source\repos - this is where visual studio seems to default to and is a pain to browse to each time.
