  1. By default during initial sync Red-Gate creates object’s files with binary attribute. It is more relevant to them to be string type -- Unicode (which they are actually). It is necessary due to some file-diff tools incorrectly handles binary files. There no way to change default file creation attribute (binary).
    Let user choose target sourse control object's file attribute.

  4. Be able to apply the SVN Relocate command. I often switch between our SVN server while on the LAN, but then when on the road I connect "relocate" to the SVN server using external IP address of the server using the SVN relocate command.

  5. It would be great to be able to use the keyboard to do fire off commands more quickly (especially when doing the same task on many objects).

    A good example is that I granted a bunch of permissions to a user and then needed to accept my own changes which requires, using the mouse to select the item and then use the mouse again to select the radio button for "use mine". If there was a key combination to select "use mine" then I could just down arrow and then hit this particular key combination.

  7. Is it possible to tell the tool to release memory. I notice it consumes an enormous amount which I can understand, but would like to release it once I'm finished using the tool. I understand it will have to consume the memory again next time it compares my db to the repository.

  8. We have a team that works remotely so no local network access to source control, only access over the internet. Sometimes I cannot get latest or commit anything because most of the time the source window is stuck on "Determining latest version". I've let it run for a few hours with no luck. It is a relatively large database with around 2000 objects, 1000 stored procedures which have a total size of 4.3MB text.

    A SQL Compare snapshot of this database is 23MB or 6.5MB compressed.

    What about having an intermediate service which runs on same local network as source…

  9. If a table or column is dropped in svn, e.g. due to a merge from one branch to another, then Get Latest will happily do this without notice. Any data loss caused by Get Latest should at the very least cause a warning.

  12. We occasionally restore a copy of production db over our development db. With SCC in place I imagine it will work like this:

    1) Everyone commits dev changes that they care to keep

    2) perform restore

    3) One person relinks SSC in dedicated mode and uses "get latest" to pull down latest schema to the newly restored dev db.

    4) everyone can resume working in shared model.

    To cut out the relink in step 3, it would be nice to be able to use the "Get Latest" tab in shared model for occasions like this

  13. In the lower panel where I compare the text of different Versions I expect more functionality, when I use the mousewheel, e.g.:
    Ctrl+Wheel: Change Text Size
    Shift+Wheel: Scroll Horizontally
    Ctrl+Shift+Wheel: ??

  15. Thank you for making the comment field bigger. Now, if you could just ensure the component remembers the position of the divider between the comment/header area and the list view below it, that'd be even better. Right now, I have to keep resizing it every time I launch the SMS. Annoying but obviously it can be worked around.

  16. We have extended properties setup on the database level that currently can't be checked into source control. It would be nice to have that as an option to look at DB level extended properties.

    Kendra responded

    While SQL Source Control does not currently provide a simple way to right click and ‘Undo’ static data changes on the ‘Commit’ screen as suggested, there is a workaround which may help some users.

    If you wish to revert the static data in the table to a previous version which you have committed, you can do this by viewing the history of commits for the object in SQL Source Control, and then launching SQL Data Compare to update the database.

    Please note that this workaround requires a license for Data Compare. More detail on how to do this are here: https://documentation.red-gate.com/soc/common-tasks/update-to-a-revision-from-source-control

  18. Please consider allowing, in a single action, the addition of ALL (or a selection of) databases in a server to the same base VSS location. This would require you to create new projects under the root for each DB and simply auto-commit the changes. Currently, Initial setup on servers with dozens of DBs is quite daunting.

  20. If I could have the product walk a bunch of databases on a server (like a dev server) at 4 PM every day and check in any changes either completely automatically or with a single click for all dbs that would be sweet.

    Another use case for this is when I have to revoke a users rights to a bunch (20 or more) databases on a server with a script but then have to check in the change on each db one at a time.
