  1. Do changes have to be applied in order?

    SQL Source Control increments a Revision number after each change. Does this imply that I am required to apply all changes up to a given Revision in a second database? I really want to apply only selected changes, and in my own order.

    RELATED: If I select Revision 10 to apply to my database, and then select Revision 7, have I effectively removed changes for Revision 8, 9 and 10?

    Note that I am most concerned about DATA in these cases. The schema for this particular project is mostly stable. I'm just trying to keep track of data rows that…

  2. Do Not Allow HG Commit without a FogBugz BugID/CaseID

    Currently with Tortoise Hg we can prevent a commit if the commit message does not contain a FogBugz bug/case ID. Based on a conversation with Red Gate support, SQL Source Control commit does not currently support this functionality. Please add it ASAP.

  3. Why check and re-check for changes so many times?

    Using SSC 3.0.11.3531
    Dedicated development model

    1. We finally get a nice little notification that Commit Tab has been updated. (Kudos for finally doing something in the background and letting users know they have to take action on something)
    2. Click on the notification to open the Commit Tab
    3. Wait for SSC to determine latest version and work out whats changed.
    4. Select my items and say commit
    5. Wait for SSC to once again determine the latest version and work out whats changed and commit my selected changes to TFS.

    Surely
    a) You already know what items are changed in order to show…

  5. RCS Codes interfere with change detection using Perforce

    RCS keyword expansion expansion in Perforce is detected as a change when comparing DB and Source Control code. This is unhelpful. SQL Source Control should ignore changes in RCS tags content when the file type is set to KText

  6. Offline Mode

    I develop locally on a laptop. If I want to develop remotely and forget to turn on VPN before I open SSMS and select a database, SQL Source Control has a fit because it can't find the repository. In fact, it becomes unusable until I've connected to the repository and unlink and relink the database in source control.

    An offline mode would detect if the repository was unavailable and merely track changes until the repository is available again.

  7. Only certain users database should be able to do source control

    I had three different connection in SSMS. One for each user: Sql admin, webadmin, webapplication user. I think I by mistake made a commit from the connection for the webapplication user which have very few rights. All the users right got screwed up after that.

  9. Single click to get latest for all connected databases

    We have a fairly long list of source controlled databases whose changes may affect a developer's local environment. Right now they have to click each database and get latest. It'd be great if they could right-click at the server level and choose "Get Latest Changes From Source Control ..." at that level. It would then pull all the changes for all the databases. I suppose the Get Latest window would have to have a database column.

  12. Default constraint names with escape characters aren't registered as a change

    I accidently did an sprename 'DFVisitsSome3234234', '[DFVisits_SomeNumber]', 'Object' and committed it to SVN. Now, when I change it back, the Source Control does not detect this as a change to commit back. How do I get around this, or it's a bug.

  13. When doing a "get latest", only require read permissions.

    I would like to be able to allow people to get a copy of the latest set of development functions, etc. kept in a repository. I don't want everyone to be able to write new/modify existing functions. Currently when they try to do a get latest, it errors out saying they need read, check in, check out, and lock permissions. To get around this I've given everyone full permissions in TFS. I don't understand why that would be necessary for a get latest.

  17. Cancel commit clears comments

    If I cancel a commit, on the dependencies dialogue window, it seems to clear the original comments.

    This usually happens if I forget to include an object for commit, and the popup dialogue reminds me. I know it offers to include dependencies I have missed, but this often I'll have meant to include other objects in the submit. If I click cancel to go back and add them, the comments have been cleared

  18. Partitiong Functions

    Without any changes on the database, SQL Source Control creates a tracked changed alternating between these two partitioning functions:

    CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION [TranDate] ([datetime2] (0))
    AS RANGE LEFT
    FOR VALUES (N'2007-01-01 00:00:00', N'2008-01-01 00:00:00', N'2009-01-01 00:00:00', N'2010-01-01 00:00:00', N'2011-01-01 00:00:00', N'2012-01-01 00:00:00', N'2013-01-01 00:00:00', N'2014-01-01 00:00:00', N'2015-01-01 00:00:00')

    and

    CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION [TranDate] ([datetime2])
    AS RANGE LEFT
    FOR VALUES (N'2007-01-01 00:00:00', N'2008-01-01 00:00:00', N'2009-01-01 00:00:00', N'2010-01-01 00:00:00', N'2011-01-01 00:00:00', N'2012-01-01 00:00:00', N'2013-01-01 00:00:00', N'2014-01-01 00:00:00', N'2015-01-01 00:00:00')

    Could something be done about it?

  19. 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.
