  2. Revert/Undo Pending Change

    I started making changes to a db object, but I made a mistake and I want to start again. I should be able to revert or undo this pending change so that I'm back in the state I was before making these changes.

  5. SVN - Show Log (TFS - View History)

    To have a tab that would simply grab and display the Log/History would be invaluable. This would be a fairly simple addition I would think.

    SET XACTABORT ON ;

    DECLARE @defaultTraceFileName NVARCHAR(256);

    SELECT @defaultTraceFileName = CONVERT(NVARCHAR(256), value)

    FROM fn    trace_getinfo(DEFAULT)

    WHERE [property] = 2

    AND value IS NOT NULL;

    SELECT
    dt.StartTime
    , dt.DatabaseID
    , dt.TransactionID
    , dt.EventSubClass
    , dt.EventClass
    , dt.ObjectID
    , sysTSV.subclassname AS ObjectType
    , CONVERT(NVARCHAR(256), NULL) AS SchemaName
    , dt.ObjectName
    , dt.LoginName
    , dt.ApplicationName

    FROM ::fn    tracegettable(@defaultTraceFileName, default) AS dt
    LEFT JOIN sys.trace    subclassvalues AS sysTSV
    ON sysTSV.trace    eventid = dt.EventClass
    AND sysTSV.subclass    value = dt.ObjectType
    WHERE dt.EventSubClass…

  7. Overlay icons disappear in SSMS 2008 (10.0.2531.0) connected to SS2005

    The overlay icons disappeared when I connected to a SQL Server 2005 database using SSMS 2008. This is the first time I've noticed this behavior.

    Hi. We think that this is fixed. Please let us know if you’re still experiencing issues with the icons.

  8. Drop object should not be drop from SVN

    If someone drop a object and commit it, we lost the object in SVN and the history of it.

    You need to found a workaround like Rename _DROP

    Dropped objects are no longer in the latest version in source control, but they are still in the previous versions. In SVN, if you “show log,” on the directory level, you should be able to find the dropped object. You can right-click on it and “show log” again to get the entire history for that dropped object.

  9. Exclude objects from versioning (svn:ignore)

    As it is possible to exclude some files from SVN using file source control it would be great to remove some objects that we do not want to version - for example test procedures or users.

  10. Problem syncing Service Broker items

    Have two service broker services that won't synchronise.

    Database version shows,
    CREATE SERVICE [//DBA/Login-Service]
    AUTHORIZATION [dbo]
    ON QUEUE [dbo].[Login-Queue]
    (
    [http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQL/Notifications/PostEventNotification]
    )
    GO

    Source control version shows,
    CREATE SERVICE [//DBA/Login-Service]
    AUTHORIZATION [dbo]
    ON QUEUE [dbo].[Login-Queue]
    GO

    When I try and commit the changes, it stops at the "Sending Files ..." step and says "Nothing to commit"

    If you haven’t commited your changes yet, then you can right-click on the object in the Object Explorer and select Other SQL Source Control Tasks > Undo. This will revert your change to your db so that you are back to the state you were in before you started making changes to the object.

    If you actually want to get back to a previous version, then please vote/comment at https://redgate.uservoice.com/forums/39019-sql-source-control/suggestions/492431-get-specific-version-from-source-control-svn-upd.

  12. Proxy server option

    My work has an internet proxy server that filters connections. When the reporting tool asked to send crash report it failed because proxy server wasn't specified. Any way to configure this?

    SQL Source Control v2.0 is now available with support for source controlling your static lookup data from within SSMS. For more details, see http://www.red-gate.com/MessageBoard/viewtopic.php?t=12947.

    If you’ve been using SQL Data Compare Pro to source control your data in the “Data” folder, then please contact support@red-gate.com to keep your history.

    If you need any advanced features, like only source controlling a subset of columns or limiting the rows with a WHERE clause, then you will need to continue to use SQL Data Compare Pro, http://www.red-gate.com/help/SourceControlData.html.

  16. Support merge / branch

    I want to be able to work with more then one database, I want to have database for each developer that are all branches of the "trunk" db.

    We now support branches from your source control system. You should be able to branch in your source control system and then link a database directly to that branch.

    Please contact support@red-gate.com if you have any problems or post a new suggestion for more specific features that you’d like us to implement around this, https://redgate.uservoice.com.

  17. Allow me to filter the objects on the commit/get latest tabs

    Provide option to filtering based on type of objects just like sql compare and then select all or unselect all option. This will speed up the selection process.

  18. Dedicated DB VS Shared (Centralized) DB Model

    I recentrly had a brief email exchange with Stephanie from Red Gate, where I explained that we use a centralized Development database, instead of every developer having a dedicated local version of the DB against which they develop. I believe that the Centralized Dev DB model is the model used most in the field, mainly for two reasons. 1) Most companies don't want their developers to have local copies of the database for security reasons, and 2) Development DBs often hold a lot of test data which would not be practical for all of the developers to have locally.

    SQL Source Control supports either model, http://www.red-gate.com/MessageBoard/viewtopic.php?t=12947.

    v2.0 has the following enhancements for the shared model:
    If you setup your database as shared, then you will see who last updated each object on the Commit tab and Undo dialog. Only objects that you last updated will be checked by default. This will prevent you from accidentally committing/undoing others changes that work on the same db.

    We are also addressing the problem so that you will no longer see invalid conflicts on the Commit tab.

  19. Many Conflicts in GetLatest and Commit tab pages

    I've created new link to some DB, then commint changes. Then... i've linked some other DB to prevously created link. Now i have many conflicts. For example:
    "create procedure dbo.proc1" a version in DB and "create procedure proc1" a version in source control. In my opinion by linking to existing DB in source control get lates step should be done. To equal both versions.

    If your database matches what is in source control, we now update your underlying working folder after you link a db so that you don’t see these conflicts on the Commit/Get tabs.

    Thank you!

  20. The whole thing is dead sexy.

    I'm looking forward to source control of data. It's very low impact, which are the only kinds of tools that get used when schedules get off track, which is to say, week three of any project.
