   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.

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

   A post-deployment script gives you a good amount of flexibility over exactly which rows or columns of data you want to include in your project. Example post-deployment scripts for static data are 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 might make sense.

   We also would like to use Source Control for data content.
   But Link Static Data for the whole table is way too much of data.
   We would need this with a where clause to be selective.
   We do have many tables that contain both static and user data.
   So please put this onto the development Goals.
