  1. Creating database from scratch on linux

    I have a bunch of Ruby services which talk to sql server. I'd love to be able to stand up and tear down databases for development using Microsoft's mssql-server-linux docker container while still managing my database via Redgate. This would require a linux-based CLI tool that could create the database from source.

    To do this would require a linux-compatible container

  3. Add a "rerun" option for edited migration scripts

    Currently there is an option to edit migration scripts however edits will not get applied to other environments if the old version of the script was already run.

    Imagine the scenario where a migration script is created to update one record in a table that does not have it's data versioned. The script is checked in and deployed to the CI environment and the QA (test) environment. QA test finds that the update was incorrect. Development edits the migration script to correct it. The edited script will not get run again on those environments.

    Currently there are only two work…

  4. Cannot create migration script for selected changes in the newest version

    Using the latest verrsion I cannot create a migration script for selected changes (checkins in the versioning control system).
    The menu option it had in the database context menu is missing.
    Why did you remove this feature?
    It was nice for allowing migrating environments that you cannot connect to.

  5. Let me use the old system of committing first and then generating a script

    From the commit dialog I can see the changes that have occurred and decide whether to commit or not. Then after committing I could generate a script covering those amendments. It appears that you have removed this functionality. Now under Migrations I just get a list of objects with changes and have no idea what has changed and just have to blindly generate a migration script or flick back and forth between the Commit tab and Migrations tab to determine what to include.
    Maybe I have missed something - only been trying for a day!

  6. Selections in Commit tab remain selected in Undo Change dialog

    In the commit tab you can see the differences between source control and the database which makes it great for deciding what you want to commit or rollback. If you select items in this tab and them right click and undo changes your selections are lost and you have to re-select in the Undo Changes dialog which doesn't let you see the change.

    As a developer I want to be able to see the change that I am about to undo.

  7. Add a "Covered by Migration Script" option to the commit tab

    When committing changes it would be nice to be able to mark changed items as "Covered / Included in existing migration script" so that they are not checked into source control. I am specifically talking about uncommitted schema changes. For example, transferring a table to a different schema. SQL Source Control sees this as a drop (from old schema) and create (in new schema), but there are times when it should be an ALTER SCHEMA statement in order not to lose the data from the table. The ALTER SCHEMA can be added to an existing migration script instead of creating…

  8. Add UI filter on Commit tab

    On one of our databases we have a lot of changes we don't want to commit at the moment, it would be great to have UI filter on commit tab so we can easily find one of the changed procedures/tables/functions by schema/name and select it for committing.

  9. If I exclude items from source control they should not default to be committed due to dependencies.

    If I exclude items from source control they should not default to be committed due to dependencies. It would be great if there was a setting when items are excluded to never include them in the list of items that are dependencies.

  10. Decrease size of UI on HiDPI/4K displays

    If you have a HiDPI or 4K display, SSMS is scaled to 2x. In SQL Source Control, The Commit and Get Latest tabs are fine, but the Migrations, Locking and Setup UI are scaled MUCH larger than 2x. I would prefer those UIs be scaled to 2x.

  11. I would like to be able to pause scanning a database for changes. It is trying to do 3 at the same time with on being really.

    I would like to be able to pause/start scanning a database for changes as will. It is trying to do several at the same time right now and one of them is huge which is taking longer than it should. If I could only scan the one I am working with at the moment it would save me time system resources.

  13. From the Source Contol tab, it should be easy to tell which instance you are updating.

    Sometimes I'm connected to multiple instances and it would be nice if the Source Control tab made it clear which instance I was about to change or commit from.

  14. Do not change the font size of managment studio

    This more a bug report than a feature suggestion. When i start Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 10.50.2500.0 the fontsize is fine. But as soon as redgate loads the font size are changed.

  15. Exporting Multiple Tables from the results pane to seperate Excel Tabs

    The open in excel feature is impressive and I love to use it for ad-hoc extracts. Having the ability to extract multiple results in 1 go to a single Excel file with different sheets would be great.

  16. Global Filter by Schema should exclude Schema Object with same name

    This filter should exclude an object with a schema that has a matching name.

    -- All Objects

    Exclude where (@SCHEMA = 'tSQLt') OR (@SCHEMA = 'SQLCop')

    Did not exclude this schema object definition.

    -- Schema

    CREATE SCHEMA [tSQLt]
    AUTHORIZATION [dbo]

  19. Auto-refresh the changes to commit icon

    The blue circle indicating changes to be commited should auto-refresh (added/removed when necessary) and refresh when the SQL Server refresh icon or menuitem are clicked.

    Now it only refreshes when the user goes on the Commit or GetLatest tab.
