Simple Version Control for SQL Server

kharr0

I'll admit I'm spoiled. I started using VisualSVN several months ago and couldn't be happier. However, VisualSVN doesn't work with SSMS and isn't really meant to manage versioning for database objects.

VisualSVN makes version control in Visual Studio *extremely* easy. What I'd love to see from RedGate is an add-in to SSMS that makes source control just as easy. Script out all the objects in the db to individual files. Detect when an object changes and update its script. Allow me to commit those changes to source control from within SSMS. Let me diff the changes or revert to previous versions. In a nutshell, let me apply verson control to my databases.

Thanks for a great suite of products!

If you haven't already done so you might want to sign up to our Early Access Program for SQL Source Control. As you describe this is an add-in to SSMS that integrates your development database with source control.
