  1. Option to store the "Version", "Linked to" and "Migration folder" in a file not the database

    Currently Source Control information is stored in database extended properties in the database being source controled. This requires Alter Database. In production those of us who use RedGate for Source Control, do NOT have Alter database because only the sys admins have that. And they do not want to bother with RedGate as they are just acting as auditors not database developers in production. Other environments we have full rights, just not production. It would be great to have an option to store the "Version", "Linked to" and "Migration folder" in a file not in Extended properties in the database.

    Sorry that this has taken so long to deal with, but I’m pleased to say that the latest version of the migrations feature no longer requires extended properties on your database.

    This means that as of version 5.1.1 of SQL Source Control, Alter Database permissions are no longer required.

  2. Vault 6

    Support Vault Server version 6.0 that came out recently. Currently when trying to connect against that version, SSC responds with an error of "unsupported server version". It would be nice to make SSC 3.x work with Vault 6.x.

  4. Persist user selection

    On the Get Latest and Commit Changes tabs, user selections do not persist. Every time the window refreshes (which is any time you leave and come back) you lose the selection. Seems odd to me that I would have to request such a feature, as it would seem like the natural way of doing things. If I have hunders of objects to get latest or check-in and i'm carefully selecting, i can easily lose my selection which causes lots of pain :)

  5. 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.

    I am delighted to let you know that this is now released! You can now create migrations scripts even without schema changes.

    If you don’t have SQL Source Control 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.

    You can see other Migrations examples and tutorials here: https://documentation.red-gate.com/display/SOC5/Migration+script+examples

  7. Migrations support for Git/Mercurial

    It seems that right now migrations only support SVN, TFS and Vault - none of which I'm willing to use anymore. Please consider prioritizing support for Git/Mercurial.

    I am delighted to let you know that this is now released! Migrations support for Git/Mercurial is available – out of beta – in SQL Source Control 5.

    If you’re new to SQL Source Control, you can try it out free for 28 days by downloading 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.

    You can see Migrations examples and tutorials here: https://documentation.red-gate.com/display/SOC5/Migration+script+examples

    Thank you for your continued support, and please let us know if you have further feedback on this capability, or any others, in SQL Source Control!

  8. 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://documentation.red-gate.com/display/SOC3/Setting+SQL+Compare+options+in+SQL+Source+Control

    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…

  9. log files

    The log files at

    C:\Users<user>\AppData\Local\Red Gate\Logs\SQL Source Control 3

    can completely consume the free space on my C drive within a day. I have watched the files in this folder grow to 10gb in an afternoon.

    How do I turn these off or set a size limit. I would also like to move them to a different location.

    SQL Source Control v3.0.5.7 has been released and should have resolved the excessive logging in the product.

    To get this version, please run Check For Updates from the Help menu in SQL Source Control. This is a free upgrade for existing licensed v3 users and for users with a Support & Upgrades contract.

    The ability to name migration scripts is now available in SQL Source Control v3.4. For details and to download, please see http://documentation.red-gate.com/display/SOC3/Release+notes+and+other+versions.

    We have also been working on v2 of Migrations. An Early Access Release of SQL Source Control is now available with Migrations v2. To download, please see http://documentation.red-gate.com/display/MV2.

    NOTE: This is an Early Access Release and is not fully tested or functionally complete yet. It would be great if you could try it in a test environment and let us know about your experiences so we can fix any issues and try to make any updates you need before the full release.

    Thank you!

  15. 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.

    The new update mechanism (the blue bar at the top of the screen) should make it much clearer when your support & upgrades status means you’re not entitled to a major version upgrade, and therefore upgrading would start a new trial instead.

  16. SQL Source Control For Data Updation

    We have gone though SQL source control and it workd perfectly with our Mercurial repository for schema changes. We also want some data changes to be source controlled like in some master tables , we have added some values. We want that these values should be added in the target database with the schema changes when the target db update itself by taking latest, so this type of feature i available in RedGate or we have to do some manual work for data changes. Kindly guide. Thanks

  17. 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.

    Migrations in SQL Source Control 5 no longer requires a separate repository, so you should now be able to use it with your setup.

    SQL Source Control v3.0.5.7 includes a mechanism to allow comparison options to be configured – including Ignore Fill Factor. To get this version, please run Check For Updates from the Help menu in SQL Source Control.

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

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

    If you’d like to see an options dialog exposing these settings in SQL Source Control, please vote on the following idea – https://redgate.uservoice.com/admin/forums/39019-sql-source-control/suggestions/2615460-add-an-options-dialog-to-allow-configuration-of-co – and let us know which options you’d like to see exposed in the dialog.
