  1. SQL Source Control need to recognize SQL 2016 code

    Currently SQL Source Control is crashing when SQL 2016-specific code is used, for example:
    DROP TABLE IF EXISTS #input;

    It should recognize this code since SQL Server 2016 works with it.

    This is caused by the SQL Compare parser not understanding this syntax. The good news is the SQL Compare team are currently working on SQL Server 2016 parser support. Once this work is done and SQL Source Control is updated with the latest SQL Compare engine, I will update this request again.

  2. Must treat Static Data like source code

    Our application is highly metadata driven thus we must treat our static data like source code. Specifically we need accept deleteions that are made locally, apply insertions made globally, and identify the differences. Currently Sql Source Control does NOT differentiate between rows missing from the local database because either 1) the local developer deleted them or 2) they were added by a global developer to the latest source code controlled version. In case 1, we want to drive that deleteion back into the latest source code controlled version. In case 2, we want to drive that insertion into the local…

  3. Incorrect differences shown for data changes

    I just did a data edit (inserted one row) but in the differences I see three rows inserted and two removed. Two of the rows inserted are letter for letter identical to the two rows removed.

    Doesn't really matter, just a little confusing to read

  6. User-configurable tab width in diff views

    When viewing differences prior to check-in (or prior to get-latest), the DIFF view always expands tab characters to 8 wide. Our standard is to use hard tabs to indent, 4 characters wide.

    It would be nice to be able to tell SQL Source Control that our tabs are 4 chars wide, so that the diff displays are easier to read and interpret quickly!

  9. Do not check all the items to be committed by default

    After the list of change to be committed get refreshed, every item get checked by default, even those I just unchecked. Is it possible to not check the item if it was already in in the list and unchecked, or just mark them all as uncheck by default instead of being checked.

    The issue is when I have item that I don't want to commit right now (unstable, unfinished view, etc), I have to uncheck them EVERY time the list is refreshed, which is, every often since the list refresh each time you click on a new object in SSMS.…

  10. The toggle button functionality

    I have version 3.2.0.27. When you have conflicts, the toggle button at the top of commit and get latest won't uncheck items that SQL Source decides to check. I have to select all the items and then click a box to uncheck, then check the ones I want. If I don't want to resolve the conflict yet, it's not ideal.

  11. Need to be able to Label a Release

    It would be more than a 'nice-to-have' if we could specifically select and label versions as a "Release". The current assumption is that selecting a specific revision is equivalent, but there are scenarios where it is necessary to keep release a build that spans "revisions" - especially when working on an incremental set of changes.
    The only way I can see to do this right now is to restore all relevant versions individually and then use SQL Compare to manually revert those changes that have been committed in the "current" build but which wee do not want to release yet…

  13. Unable to connect to the Redgate Client Service.

    'Please ensure that the service is started. Click here for more information about this problem.'
    How about fixing this bug for when source control have forgotton its lic, which of course is fine . you can then try deactivating and reactivating, it says its is ok but nothing has changed. Would be so nice to be able to log on to your subscription, and tell it 'USE THIS ONE' so it can see on a redgate site what lic to use.

  15. See incremental changes made before committing

    When working with an object, there is a chance that another developer has made modifications as well since many developers work off of the same database.

    When committing, it would be nice to be able to see a history of modifications. Each time an object is modified (F5) take a commitable snapshot of that object.

    When a developer goes to commit, they could see the different times an object was modified and commit all at one time or commit the individual changes made over time. Doing a commit will roll-up all previous commits made.

    Example:
    Day 1: Dev A: Adds…

  16. Disconnect the SOC pane from Object Explorer

    Right now the SOC pane is linked to the database in Object Explorer. The problem in this is that the pane can't work asynchonously to get changes while I move on.

    Give the slow performance of looking for changes and populating the commit tab, can we

    1. Put a drop down in the SOC pane to choose the db
    2. Have the Commit popular process (refresh) be set to work with this database asynchronously. Either allow me to set a polling interval or click the refresh button, but then allow me to move to another tab and continue to work.
    3. Same for…

  19. Ability to generate changes to file locally so we can manually commit with other changes

    I would like it to update the files but not commit as I generally like to commit a set of related changes together.
    i.e. chaning the database schema and an on screen form to display new columns, they should appear as one commit. Currently I have to do two seperate commits

  20. Allow linking to system databases

    I don't think this suggestion is here already, apologies if it is! I would like to be able to link system databases (esp master) to source control as my company has a number of shared procs here. The ability to optionally exclude the normal system procs when extracting would be really useful.
