  1. When the SQL Source Control tab refreshes, it would be exceedingly useful to see if there are any items under the "Get latest" tab without having to go into the tab.

    I would suggest adding the number of changes in the tab to the tab title. For example...

    _/ Commit changes (12) _/ Get latest (2) _.....

  2. When I try to create a migration script on a (not yet checked in) object, and that object has a dependency on another object, then SQL Source Control requires that I add the dependent objects to the migration script and the subsequent checkin. SQL Source control is correct that there's a SQL-level dependency between the two objects, but as a developer, I can tell that it's safe to check in one without the other.

    As a workaround, if I checkin the change first without the migration script, SQL Source Control suggests that I also checkin the dependent objects, but doesn't …

  3. I want a check on commit for all the items I intend to check in to make sure that there is not a newer version available. In the case where there is, I want to be presented with a list of those changes for review before anything is committed.

  4. 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
  5. Make a function where you could setup a before/after Commit and before/after Get stored procedure which will be executed automatically.

    In my case I backup the Database diagrams to table with a stored procedure. I would like to run it before every commit. The restore sp could be run after a get

  13. When resizing SSMS, the SQL Source Control window does not resize correctly. Some UI elements appear on top of others. Not a major issue but is likely not working as expected.

  14. When I update to a node in a branch that is not the head of the branch, for instance to rollback my database to a previous tag. The moment I hit the get latest tab in SQL Source Control, it automatically updates to the head of my branch, making it impossible to revert to a previous version.

  15. After you click the "Get Latest" button, while the "Determining schema changes" step is processing, there is a dialog that will sometimes pop up that says "Get latest from source control - dependencies". The "affected objects" list does not include the schema name for these objects. For databases that make heavy use of schema names, the schema name is critical to display here.

  16. we have 13000 objects in our database.
    12800 of them are all in the dbo schema which contains the standard logic for our product.
    The rest 200 are in the customer specific schema.
    We are not interested in source controlling the standard logic, since we get it from our supplier.
    We need to source control our customer specific changes. For that every change is made in another schema.
    We can perfectly filter the objects out for source control with your tool.
    (so they do not appear on the commit screen). However it is very very slow, that's why I suspected…

  18. When developing in shared enviroment, I'd love a history tab that I can review all revisions with details, and not have to have a modal window separately. I believe this should be integrated into the main source control tab as change history log. This could help make others aware of changes made that could affect them, yet were already committed. Thanks!
