   An update for users on the status of this suggestion:

   An ‘object locking’ feature was added to SQL Source Control following the creation of this item which can helps users working in a shared database environment not write over each other’s changes.

   This may help prevent accidental commits in some cases, as there is a “Locking” tab which allows users to see which other users are working on specific items.

   Locked items are still eligible to be committed, however, and there are cases where users will want to commit an item — perhaps to a specific branch in source control which is not ready to deploy — even if the item in the database is locked.

   We have found at Redgate that the easiest way to enable alignment with distributed source control systems such as Git is to empower users to use dedicated development databases rather than shared databases. Tools such as SQL Clone support this. With dedicated databases, each developer can have the version of objects which they need without worrying about whether someone else is changing things in the same database at the same time.
