    This is an absolute need.

    Without this we are often having to forego "Data Compare". With the length of time this product has been released I am surprised that feature is still lacking.

    I've started looking into IDERA and others to see if I can find another toolset that would offer this functionality for my team.

  2. Script results so we can easily replace text/columns/code in large amounts of tables/views/sprocs and even across databases

    This would be very helpful when refactoring a database. Finding the long list of objects that you have to edit to adapt to a new pattern is nice but somewhat discouraging as it doesn't get you to the goal.

    The goal would be as requested above, allow me to select multiple objects from the listing returned and right-click to "Script Objects to New Query Window". THAT would be a huge timesaver!!!

    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.

    We also have a large number of databases. We also develop in a team environment with multiple database developers. The time it takes to set up source control on our two servers for one person is bad enough.

    Since we can't simply export a "config" file of some sort to then send to the other database developers that means each of my team have to waste that same amount of time setting up their workstation. I can't afford that amount of down time.

    Although I am really interested in this source control plug-in, I likely won't purchase until there is some way to automate the setup for subsequent developers.
