  1. Linked data rollback does not filter table(s) when using Sql Data Compare

    A developer changed a value on some static reference data. I right-clicked on the table to show the source control history. Then I selected the latest changeset to overwrite changes made to the database. This task uses Data Compare. However, when the tool comes up, all of the tables are selected instead of the one that I selected. I wanted Sql Source Control to filter just the table that I selected or at least filter the tables associated with a targeted changeset.

  2. Non breaking space in stored procedure causes error on check-in

    I've been experiencing errors on check-in for a stored procedure that was OK as far as SQL Server was concerned. Source Control was complaining about syntax errors all over the procedure. The problem was that the proc was copied from a web page and all the spaces were non-breaking spaces. After replacing them with "normal" spaces the check-in was fine.

  4. Multiple comments per commit

    We are using a web hosted repository that is very slow. It would be good if we could make comments for multiple items being committed. i.e. proc 1 with comment 1, proc 2 with comment 2 etc.

  5. Bug. The Change Connection functionality within the SQL Editor is disabled by SQL Source Control.

    When my connection is disabled in SSMS, I use the Change Connection functionality to reestablish it. With SQL Source Control installed, I can't because the Change Connection functionality is disabled.

  6. distinguish between unique and non-unique indexes

    (This is actually relevant to both SQL Compare and SQL Source Control.)

    We really need to be able to distinguish between unique and non-unique indexes when comparing, checking in, and deploying database schema changes. ("Unique indexes" include primary keys, unique constraints, and unique indexes on tables and unique indexes on views; "non-unique indexes" include non-unique indexes on tables and views.)

    Unique indexes are essential to the database development process. They make a significant functional difference to the behavior of the database: they enforce business rules and referential integrity; they limit the data that can be entered into the database; foreign…

  9. Every database has its own Comments before Commit

    I usually use the Comments feature of the Source Control in two ways:
    1. The normal way, i.e. as the comment for a Commit
    2. A note before "Commit". But, using it as a note is quite awkward because it will not stick with the database. When moving to another database, the note will become the note for current database.
    I wish that the every database can have its own Comment to stick with before Commit so that it will not accidentally commit with the wrong comments.

  10. UI defefect after unlinking SQL DB from VCS

    DB was linked to SVN repository.
    I needed to move its location (apparently not supported).
    So I unlinked, planning to re-link in new location, disregarding history.
    Once unlinked, the source control tab UI was messed up.
    Close the tab, re-open, still messed up.
    Disconnect the DB, reconnect, show the source control tab, still messed up.
    Close SQL Management studio, restart, show DB, show source control tab, then finally it was OK again.

    Messed up = I could not see the any of the text on the setup tab that normally says "not linked... Link DB to source control..."
    In its…

  11. installed toolbelt this morning, uninstalled this evening due to SSMS UI impact...

    I am completely put off by Redgate taking over so much SSMS UI. I was very attracted to some of the tools, but can't work like this. Tried to find way to disable/hide them, but appears uninstall is only way.

    I want minimal UI intrusion until such time as I decide I like/want more UI intrusion. We need a way to dial it back to point where all redgate stuff optionally sits under single top menu and/or context menu.

    I reckon in meantime I will install tools in a throwaway VM so I can see how they work without impeding…

  12. Bug with certain tables names

    If you have 2 tables Config and ConfigData and wish to store static data for both of them then after you have committed successfully it comes back saying that that the Config is not committed and lets you commit it again. Each time incrementing the committed version but always saying there is a difference. It is most liely because you store the data scripts as <tablename>_data.sql and it is getting confused between the 2 tables.

  15. Add searchable 'tag' values to be associated with Source Control check-in.

    Such tags might include task/issue tracking numbers, Agile cycle, or other relevant information. Such a feature would allow for the correlation of management of activities beyond the RedGate tool.

  16. Bug: Highlighting changed objects - then they disappear

    BUG: When a table is changed it is moved from its alphabetic position in teh list to the bottom of the list and highlighted, which is a pain in large databases
    If you don't immediately commit the table and make more changes it is removed from the table list altogether and you have to refresh to get the table back again - I know this is the default behaviour for new tables but the highight, put in wrong place, remove action is wrong - it should either highlight and leave in place or wait until a refresh is done and…

    Spell check on the comment text box would be helpful. Once a comment is checked into mercurial it is hard to fix the misspelled comments.

  19. Migrations Support for PlasticSCM

    I'd like to see migration scripts support for PlasticSCM. Why isn't something that is written as a "plugin"? Plastic isn't supported out of the box, but it's a simple enough matter to make a config file for it. Why can't the same be done for migrations? Allow the end user to create a config file (perhaps requiring the use of regular expressions for history parsing) or some other such mechanism. It seems like this should be a relatively straightforward thing to be able to do (it would also allow the customers to create the support for any SCM system they…

    Hello! We believe that this now works if you’re connecting to PlasticSCM with the working folder option in SQL Source Control. Before we close this request, though, we’re hoping that one of you with a real installation can check it out and let us know.

    If you don’t have the tool installed, you can download it from http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-source-control/.

    If you already have SQL Source Control you can get the new version via Check for updates in the Help menu of SQL Source Control inside SSMS.

    Thank you for sticking with us while we worked on this, and please keep the feedback coming!

  20. Add comment attribute to SSMS display

    Add "Author" and "Comment" attributes (from History window) to Get Latest display on SSMS. The Owner column is not very useful.

    I would like to be able to select defect fixes or specific enhancements to apply to a version of a database. For example, changes can be made by a developer in a DEV environment and checked into Source Control. Then the DBA can apply select changes to the TEST environment database for more testing. Select changes can then move forward to an INTEGRATION testing environment for a deployment test before moving to PRODUCTION.
