SQL Compare - 8.1
Learning SQL Compare - 8.1
Getting started with SQL Changeset
|
SQL Changeset is a free tool that enables you to integrate your 'check out/edit/check in' (VSS style) source control system with SQL Compare Professional Edition. |
When SQL Changeset is running, SQL Compare can retrieve the latest version of a database from your source control system immediately before comparing it with another database, or performing a synchronization, to ensure that you have the most up-to-date information in your comparison results.
SQL Source Control
Red Gate now offers SQL Source Control, a tool to integrate database source control with SQL Server Management Studio.
Note that SQL Changeset will be deprecated with a future release of SQL Compare.
Supported programs
SQL Changeset is installed with SQL Compare 6.2 Professional Edition or later.
The following source control systems are supported:
- Microsoft® Visual SourceSafe® versions 6.0d and 2005
- Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2005 Team Foundation Server SP1
SQL Changeset may also work with other source control systems, but they are not currently supported.
For more information, see Source control systems supported by SQL Changeset
Using SQL Changeset
SQL Changeset is a notification area program that you can launch from your Start menu, or from within SQL Compare. When SQL Changeset is running, the SQL Changeset icon is displayed in the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar.
You are recommended to register your working folders with SQL Changeset before you start SQL Compare. To find out how to do this, see Registering working folders.
You can use SQL Changeset to view the pending changeset for files contained in your registered working folders. This includes all changes, not only those made by SQL Compare. For details, see Committing Changes.
For examples of how you can use SQL Changeset with SQL Compare, see:
