SQL Source Control - 3.1

SQL Source Control

Getting started - SQL Source Control

SQL Source Control is an add-in for SQL Server Management Studio that lets you get your database into source control.

SQL Source Control therefore brings the change management and collaboration benefits of source control to database development, without affecting your workflow, or requiring new development processes.

Note: SQL Source Control is not a source control system; it allows you to store your databases in your existing source control system.

Supported source control systems

Currently, SQL Source Control supports:

  • Subversion (SVN)
  • Team Foundation Server (TFS)
  • SourceGear Vault
  • Any source control system with a command line interface. Presets are included for:
    • Mercurial
    • Git
    • Perforce

SQL Source Control: step-by-step

  1. Link the database to source control
  2. Commit the objects
  3. Optionally commit static (lookup) data
  4. Make development changes normally
  5. Commit changes or get the latest version
