Setting up a local SVN repository - SQL Source Control

This topic describes how to set up a local Subversion repository using TortoiseSVN, a free Subversion client for Windows.

Note that you are recommended not to use a local repository. Instead, set up a Subversion server

To download the latest version of TortoiseSVN, see the TortoiseSVN download page

Alternatively, you can use the Subversion command line interface.

For more information, see the Subversion documentation

Creating a repository

To create a local repository:

  1. Download and install Tortoise SVN.

    You may need to restart your computer after installation.

  2. In Windows Explorer, browse to or create an empty folder where you want to create the repository, for example C:\SVNRepository
  3. Right-click the folder, and in the TortoiseSVN menu, select Create repository here:

    The repository is created.

Using the repository

You can now use the repository with SQL Source Control.

The URL for a local repository takes the form:

file:\\\C:\<RepositoryFilePath>

Use this URL to link your database to source control

Note that the URL is case sensitive.
