Keeps showing uncommited changes even if there are none

[mikehalford]

Is there any update on this issue?

It is becoming a big problem. Object explorer shows many items that it thinks need submitting, by highlighting with blue bubble, but SQL Source Control states no changes have been made. Getting to a stage where we might revert to another method of source control until a reliable version becomes is available.

As stated in earlier post we cannot downgrade as we are using Team Foundation Service which is only supported in the latest release I was told.

Any update would be most appreciated

This is NOT limited to TFS

I have the persistently misleading blue dots with SVN.

Version 3.1.0.4829

We work in a dedicated model and I am seeing this issue as well. Very big problem as we have 24 databases that we may have to work against on multiple instances and refreshing each one to see if there really are changes to commit is very very time consuming. Reminds me of the old MS DBproj process of building and deploying to your local.

We have never worked in a shared model so I am not sure if the tempdb table is even relevant. I have checked and I do have that table and it has over 10622 rows in it.

I am still not sure why these source control tools from RedGate don't use the physical files on the developers machines that are written out when they perform a get latest to their local workspace.

Seems like the only source control aspect of SSC is the web service or command line operations for performing check-ins and associating the changes to work items for the relevant source control system.

An update on this - we've significantly improved the polling query in SQL Source Control, so this ought to be addressed in the next version. We're hoping to have that up on Check for Updates within the next few weeks.

Appreciate the update on this Andy and looking forward to the next release.

[mikehalford]

Thanks Andy. Looking forward to the updated release.

[mikehalford]

Andy.

Do we have any further information on when the update will be available?

Many Thanks

I have just downloaded and installed the latest update v3.1.0.5208. This seems to have resolved the issue.

Many Thanks

So, I never had this issue until I upgraded to 3.1.0.5208. I'm using a dedicated model and all of the icons change if I work with different query tabs but when I go back to the SQL Source Control tab, it refreshes and the icons indicating changes are removed.

We are having this issue on a Dedicated Model w/ SSC 3.1.0.5208. This does not happen in 3.0.13.4213.

I can get it to reproduce every time now.

1. Close SSMS
2. Open SSMS and connect to server
3. Click on a database that is linked and that has no changes pending. Wait for it to finish comparing. (Click on "Get Latest" tab and wait for "no new changes in source control")
4. Click on different database, can be linked or not, the database that was clicked in step 3 above, now shows that everything is out of data. (Blue circle on Green Server Icon and on every object in that database.)

Any news on if and when this will be fixed. This did not happen for me, until the latest update of SSC 3.1.0.5208.

Thank

This sounds like an issue with the new polling query - the polling query is a low-cost way for SQL Source Control to check which objects have been changed and need to be checked in, and it runs in the background. Since it doesn't do a full comparison, we've previously had trouble with the polling query reporting objects as changed that a full comparison doesn't.

There's two ways you can work around this right now:

1. Downgrade to a version of SQL Source Control that used the previous version of the polling query - the last version to use the old query was 3.0.13.4829, available here:
ftp://support.red-gate.com/patches/SQLSourceControl/23Oct2012/SQLSourceControl_3.1.0.4829.exe

You'll need to uninstall SQL Source Control and delete the following objects from tempdb before you run that installer:
Table : RG_AllObjects
Stored Procedures: RG_WhatsChanged
Scalar functions : RG_PersistentTableVersion, RG_ProcVersion

2. Disable polling in SQL Source Control. This means that you won't get blue blobs on objects without going to the Commit Changes tab yourself and performing the full comparison to source control.

To do this, open %localappdata%\Red Gate\SQL Source Control 3\RedGate_SQLSourceControl_Engine_EngineOptions.xml and add the line

FYI: Still happening in lastest update
