1. Implement the "IGNORE" rules so that database objects can be completed filtered out of source control

   Introduce something similar to the "IGNORE" rules found in your Schema compare for Oracles solution to the SQL Server Source Control product.
   The problem that exists for those of us with third party databases that have 10's of thousands of objects is that they are not workable using this product because it ONLY applies the filter AFTER it has already tried to extract and manage the ENTIRE database. The "IGNORE" option would allow us capabilities similar to filter but they would be applied UP FRONT and BEFORE the system ever tried to gather and manage every single object in the database. This is important because we actually only desire to ever manage the objects we are not ignoring or filter out. Without this capability the software crashes and runs for hours upon hours working hard on all of these objects that we DO NOT even want to ever manage.

   This has been discussed by Redgate support, developers and product managers and I am hoping your votes will help to get this worked on ASAP as it is mandatory for success in our environment.

2. Change branches from SSMS.

   If you use multiple branches for a database and you need to switch branches there is no way to change branches in SSMS. While opening some UI for git or using the command line is not difficult it would be nice to just switch to some branch, pull and apply changes, as needed/wanted all inside of SSMS

   Thanks to everyone for submitting feedback on this in the form of both voting and comments.

   Currently, SQL Source Control does not have strong support for Azure SQL Database: as folks have noted in this item, AAD support, particularly with multi-factor authentication, is desired. Currently SQL Source Control does not work at all with Azure SQL Database with MFA enabled.

   An additional issue worth mentioning is that pains with SQL Source Control performance may be worse than interacting with Azure SQL Database due to latency.

   We would like to improve the user experience and support for Azure SQL Database, and doing so almost certainly involves addressing both of these issues. This is an area we are beginning to investigate more fully.

   The timeout occurs when SQL Source Control runs a SQL query to find out which user made the changes that need to be committed, and the server takes too long to respond.

   SQL Source Control 3.6.0 improves this situation, so that if a timeout occurs you can still go ahead with the commit. This version is currently available on Frequent Updates. To learn how to turn on frequent updates, see: http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-source-control/frequent-updates

6. Support different static data per customer

   I have a single schema for all customers but different reference data for different customers. It would be nice if I could manage this all within SQL Source Control. This should also be understood by SQL Compare and my continuous integration system when it comes time to deploy this to my different environments and customers' sites.

   Hi all. Thank you for your votes and feedback on this issue over the years. Here is our current guidance for this suggestion:

   Post-deployment scripts give you flexibility for static data

   With SQL Source Control, you can now use a post-deployment script to “dynamically” deploy static data based on a factor such as @@SERVERNAME or other query-able conditions.

   SQL Source Control introduced pre- and post- scripts in v6.3.

   An example post-deployment script which shows how to control deployment of static data by environment is here: https://documentation.red-gate.com/soc7/common-tasks/working-with-pre-post-deployment-scripts/static-data

   If you make heavy use of Static Data, we have stronger support for this in SQL Change Automation.

   SQL Change Automation:

   • Supports column filtered static data tables in the SCA plugin in SSMS
     Supports multiple post-deployment scripts, in case there is a preference to manage static data tables in dedicated post-deployment scripts
   • Allows approaches like bulk loading larger static data tables by supporting SQLCMD variables in migration and post-deployment scripts

   If there are other use cases where a migrations approach would add value to the team – such as easily being able to run data modification statements as part of deployments, or being able to customize the TSQL for schema changes – then changing from SQL Source Control to SQL Change Automation makes sense.

7. Migration Script Rollbacks

   The only obstacle I have with switching to SQL Source Control 3 as a complete solution to source controlling and deploying is its inability to rollback custom code in a Migration Script. I would like when creating a Migration Script the ability to create a Reverse Migration Script so that if I use SQL compare to roll a code push back to a previous version in source control, it will grab the reverse script the same way as it grabs the migration script currently when pushing.

   For example, if my migration script has an update statement in it to modify some table data, I want to be able to put in the reverse migration script another update statement that will undo the changes of the first update. (in the case that I don't want to actually source control the data)

   As we noted in https://redgate.uservoice.com/forums/39019-sql-source-control/suggestions/2299881-migrations-support-for-git-mercurial, we have stopped work on Migrations v2 beta.

   Unfortunately, there are currently no plans to include migration script rollbacks alongside the forward migration scripts, but we are still watching this request with interest.

8. static data, Bulk insert for get latest

   Do not use transactions but use bulk insert in order to reduce the get latest time. A 'flush and refill' approach using bulk insert should be faster in hours with 10K plus records.

   A two processor, dual core computer with 8GB of RAM and a Windows experience index of 6.5 takes over 8 hours to get lates on 50K records.

   Thanks for this feedback and for the votes for this suggestion.

   For users who need to manage larger volumes of static data, we currently recommend versioning the database with SQL Change Automation. SQL Change Automation has stronger support for static data:

   • Supports column filtered static data tables in the SCA plugin in SSMS
   • Supports multiple post-deployment scripts, in case there is a preference to manage static data tables in dedicated post-deployment scripts
   • Allows approaches like bulk loading larger static data tables by supporting SQLCMD variables in migration and post-deployment scripts

   I do understand that you are looking for this feature in SQL Source Control, but wanted to surface this option for other readers who may be interested in either tool.

9. SQL Source Control Static Views (or Table Subsets using WHERE clause)

   I would like the ability to source control a subset of a table (perhaps using a view).

   I have inherited a database where lookup data is intermixed with user defined data. We reference the lookup data in the table using a code (VARCHAR) that is unique when another field is NULL, so it is possible to ensure that records are created/updated/deleted without concern for the primary key involved.

   For more information, you can refer to this forum post:

   Hi everyone. I have merged some User Voice items on this topic of “filtered” static data, as there was significant overlap. I want to share our current guidance on handling scenarios where you need to version a subset of the columns and/or rows in the table.

   With SQL Source control, the best option at this point is to use a post-deployment script for this purpose.

10. Make SQL Data Easier to Merge (Static Data)

    Currently, SQL Data files contain a bunch of insert statements, but the order of the insert statements can be inconsistent. For example, new records might get inserted on the top or the bottom. Also, multiple SET IDENTITYINSERT statements sometimes get created. This makes it difficuly to merge data changes between multiple branches in TFS Source Control. If the Insert statements had a consistent order and only included one SET IDENTITYINSERT diffs and merges would be easier.

    Thanks for this suggestion and for the many comments and upvotes. I realize that this is a pain point.

    I have a few shorter-term workarounds to summarize as well as some information on the longer roadmap in this update. I know these shorter-term workarounds aren’t perfect (I summarize the pros and cons), but I’m posting them as they may help a few folks.

    Workaround 1) When data changes to static data need to be made, use a “relink the table” pattern
    One can “cleanly rescript” a static data table in SQL Source Control by:

    • Unlinking the static data table
    • Committing
    • Relinking the static data table
    • Committing

    Pro: This works with the GUI and requires no special knowledge or comfort with TSQL. This may help folks with just a few static data tables.
    Con: This requires extra steps and results in extra commits in the history, which I realize can be annoying, particularly if the team doesn’t squash commit history when merging or do similar things.

    Workaround 2) Use a post-deployment script to manage static data tables instead of linking them
    Another option is to not use the “link static data tables” feature at all, and instead manage the static data table yourself with a custom script.

    I’ve added a code sample called “post-deployment script to manage static data for a table with an identity column” into our reference on post-deployment scripts: https://documentation.red-gate.com/soc7/common-tasks/working-with-pre-post-deployment-scripts/static-data

    Pro: This gives you complete control over the TSQL.

    Con: Your post-deployment script might become quite complex and create its own issue in merge conflicts, depending on how many static data tables you have and whether you are using the post-deployment script for other things.

    An alternate approach using SQL Change Automation
    If customers have licenses for SQL Change Automation, the SCA Migrations approach does not have this issue and has additional features for flexibility with static data:

    • Since migrations only script out the data which has changed, this scripting issue of the entire table doesn’t occur in SCA – it only ever needs to generate commands for what has been modified since the last migration
    • Supports column filtered static data tables in the SCA plugin in SSMS
    • Supports multiple post-deployment scripts, in case there is a preference to manage static data tables in dedicated post-deployment scripts
    • Allows approaches like bulk loading larger static data tables by supporting SQLCMD variables in migration and post-deployment scripts

    If there are other use cases where a migrations approach would add value to the team – such as easily being able to run data modification statements as part of deployments, or being able to customize the TSQL for schema changes – then changing from SQL Source Control to SQL Change Automation might make sense.

    Roadmap
    I’ve chatted with our engineering teams and Redgate does have the desire to better support this scenario longer term. This is not a “quick fix” scenario and will likely require a rethinking of the way static data is managed within the tool.

    While the “rethinking” bit of this has begun, we don’t specifically have this on the SQL Source Control roadmap (https://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-source-control/roadmap) at this point. We do have improved support for use with Git feature branches as a future candidate on the roadmap, and we do know from research with many customers that static data is quite important to folks. While I can’t make any promises, I think we are likely to be able to offer an improvement in this area.

    I don’t understand… If someone else committed a drop of an object, then once you click the “Get Latest” button on the “Get Latest” tab, then it will drop if from the db.

13. Command line tool (or API) for SQL Source Control Integration

    We have an automated system for building our developer environments. It would be nice to have a command line tool that we can use as part of the machine build script to pull down the latest version of the database, build the initial database and link that database back to the TFS source. Our platform consists of quite a large number of databases so linking to them all manually via the UI is a bit tedious.

    Thank you everyone for the suggestions and votes for this over the years.

    I’d like to surface up a workaround for the “linking” problem which is mentioned in the comments. For the use case of easing pains around environment setup with a large number of databases, we have had customers find success using code based off Alessandro Alpi’s blog post: https://alessandroalpi.blog/2016/06/28/automatically-link-databases-to-red-gate-sql-source-control/

    I do understand that this is a broader issue and hear that many of you also want command line or API support for the product in general.

    If there are specific scenarios or workflows that would be useful to automate for you, this feedback is also very useful, and if you have details on the type of VCS you use and the workflow (such as a branching model) that it would fit in to, that would be very helpful for us to hear as well.

    Do you have a wheel on your mouse? Once you highlight the items in view, just roll your mouse wheel to keep going down the list.

    Another way to do this is to click the first row, hold the shift key down, and scroll down to the last row and click again. This will allow you to highlight everything.

    Also, there’s a checkbox in the column header of the Commit/Get list if you want to uncheck/check everything all at once.

    I hope this helps.

15. Rename of objects containing [ not working

    I inadvertently put [] into lots of my column names and this broke RedGate. Google found something that might help explain:

    I eventually fixed it by dropping the tables, which caused RedGate to run a create table statement rather than sp_rename.

    Hello,

    What do you mean by “this broke RedGate.” How exactly did it break? Did you get any error messages?

    Could you email Support@Red-Gate.com the table script that had the [] in the column names and what you changed it to? This will help us to reproduce the problem.

    Thank you!

16. Improved object merge support - Provide ability to merge a conflicted object, instead of just Keep Mine or Take Theirs

    I have seen no way on how to actually do a merge with SVN and mark as merged etc
    We really need a more inutuitive way to merge the changes to SVN and vice versa. At the moment I am getting conflicts that I can't put into SVN because there is no way to say it has been merged, or even how to merge the changes.

17. Add ability to associate check ins with Work Items in TFS

    Visual Studio already allows this which keeps track of which Source Control items go with which Change Control items. This would also be greatly beneficial if we could associate the database changes as well.

    Hi – this request was closed when the ‘TFS work items’ feature was released. http://documentation.red-gate.com/display/SOC3/Committing+changes

    However, we’re still hearing about this enough that I’d agree with commenter Ben: it should be reopened.

    We will continue to gauge interest here on UserVoice. Please do tell us more in the comments about what you expect to be able to do with Work Items in SQL Source Control.

18. Get specific version from source control (SVN: Update to revision)

    Instead of Get Latest, I want to be able to get a specific version out of source control and reapply it to the database. This would allow me to rollback changes that were accidentally committed. I should be able to specify what version/revision that I want to go back to.

    This is the same as getting a previous version from source control so that I can debug an issue a user found in a previous release.

    While SQL Source Control provides a way to view object history, it does require additional tooling to update your database to a specific version from history.

    We currently have documentation on how this works here: https://documentation.red-gate.com/soc/common-tasks/update-to-a-revision-from-source-control

19. Error during applying changes to live DB

    The error should consist more detailed data. Like from which procedure, function or table such error was thrown. I assume my error has nothing to do with SQL Source Control, it's my DB ;)

    Are you still having this issue?

20. Agent jobs

    Would be great if SQL Server Agent jobs could be incorporated into SVN

    Thank you everyone for your comments and votes on this over the years. While I don’t have a 100% full resolution for this suggestion, I can sum up our current recommendations here. Continued feedback is very welcome.

    Our current recommendation is to use the post-deployment script feature of SQL Source Control (released in V6.3) to manage SQL Server Agent jobs.

    An example script for this is here: https://documentation.red-gate.com/soc/common-tasks/working-with-pre-post-deployment-scripts/create-sql-server-agent-job

    As some commenters in this thread have alluded to, it is possible (and sometimes very common) for SQL Agent jobs to have steps that touch multiple databases on a single SQL Server Instance. For this reason, some customers prefer to create a separate database for instance-level management and objects (sometimes named DBA or similar) and choose to manage things like linked servers and SQL Agent jobs with the post-script associated with that database.

    This separate-database architecture also makes sense if the jobs are being deployed to an environment with an Availability Group. I wrote a bit more about this here under “SQL Agent jobs need special handling”: https://www.red-gate.com/simple-talk/blogs/database-devops-considerations-for-sql-server-availability-groups/
