Skilled Software has released SQL Source Control 2003, solution avaliable for Microsoft SQL Server developers, that enables source control of code and documentation of your databases.

Full source control and documentation versioning support is possible through integration with Visal Source Safe. Versioning is possible for each database item (tables, stored procedures, views, functions, triggers), including SQL scripts and documentation history.

You may create and version database documentation quick and easy, down to table columns or stored procedure parameters, generate reports in easy to read and share HTML format.

With built-in database management support users can browse, edit and remove existing items, add new tables, views, stored procedures, functions and triggers.

With exclusive checkouts developers may work together on the same database. They don't have to worry about possibility of several developers changing the same database object. Now each change is independely versioned and documented.

Deleted items management allows you to recover deleted database items from source control and put them back into your database.

SQL code editor features full syntax color coding to improve the readability of complex statements. Also included automatic source code completion best known as IntelliSense. Find/Replace with regular expressions support, line numbering.

You may also bring deleted SQL database items back to life. With deleted items management you may recover deleted database items from source control and put them back into your database.

SQL Source Control 2003 supports SQL Server 2000 and Source Safe 6.0.
Pricing starts at 49$ per licence. Contact Skilled Software at

Sebastian (Skilled Software President),

I am quite distressed. First, allow me to say that I was very unhappy to receive your unsolicited email (a.k.a. SPAM) through my account at this community. While it appears that you (or someone acting on your behalf) took the effort to manually mail out your spam ad, it is still just that, and I don't care for it. I might have been more open to it if it had actually been a personal email asking for me to consider reviewing your product, or endorsing it, but just plain old spam really irritates me. Now, even though you may have a terriffic product, I am prejudiced against it by your actions.

Second, I find it questionable, at best, to post another ad here on a discussion forum. Oh sure, people who are contributors and have written an article about a product, or even have written their own tools may recommend them as a solution to a specific posted problem, but just dropping your ad copy into a new thread...just rubs me the wrong way. I'd suggest you would have been better off contacting Bill Graziano, the board's owner and discussing advertising options with him directly. At least the other two places where you have posted your ad on this board are in response to other posts on a related topic.

Please reconsider your advertising approach in the future. If you wish to personally recommend your own tools or books, there are better ways. Even adding a little personal comment such as, "my company has developed a tool that you might find useful for this..." would make it come across in a much more friendly mode here in the community.

Sincerely,
AjarnMark

I'd like to second that AjarnMark.

I got one of those e-mails as well. I think even if they were giving away the cure for cancer for $1, I'd pass.

Spam == bad. Spam costs our country something like 7 billion a YEAR!

Hello

I am very sorry that our information has been categorized as "spam". We were trying to respond to the related posts only and sent out several short e-mails (in the form "Please try SQL Source Control 2003") to the forum members who asked about SourceSafe integration issues.

This new thread post must have been added by mistake. Please accept our appologies.

We will surely reconsider this in the future.

looks like a pretty trivial app too.
Sounds more dangerous than useful.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

I haven't really looked at the app in details, but I think it's nice that someone is tryign to automate source control for SQL server. I tend to skip source control for smaller projects because it takes too much of my time. (and I know I could automate it myself but I can't be bothered)

I never skip it.
Shouldn't take up much time and usually saves a lot - mens you can make changes knowing you can always roll back and gives the rollout script at the end for no extra work.
