In our situation we could ensure a production DB isn't linked as developers don't have direct access to the productin DB. Understand this may not be the case for everyone, so having a prompt wouldn't be the end of the world.
I have voted as requested, do you have any idea on expected timescales for this? An alternative we are looking at is making a trivial schema change (such as changing the data type of a column on a dummy table), then using this script for data updates, as you say, this is far from idea.
It would also be nice to name migration scripts manually to make it more relevant.
Thanks

Yes, in our situation our developer dashboard would only be available on local development machines. Ideally, we wouldn't even want to ask the user, we just want it to happen. If we could make the process invisible to the user, even better!
While I have your attention, are there any plans to introduce the ability to create custom migration scripts which don't need to be linked to schema changes? So I could say upgrading from v1 to v2 is to simply run an update to data held within a table. (not having this is a major issue to how we would like to use the RedGate Source Control in conjuntion with our internal processes).
Thanks

Thanks for a quick reply.
Yes it's more or less what we're looking for, the only issue being that in our situation we wouldn't necessarily want to give the user the ability to cancel the procedure.
I did try importing the RedGate dll's into Visual Studio, and found that there appears to be methods available which would create the link... however, didn't manage to get these working.
Thanks

Hi,
We are developing a developer dashboard. So, the developer is due to start a new work item. The dashboard would provision the local working envrionment by creating a new branch within SVN for the application code, it would also restore a localised version of the database from a backup.
The intention is to then link the database to SVN so that other developers can then contribute to the same work item.
It would be ideal if we could fire a command line argument into SQL management studio which would essentially say. "Here's a new database, it needs linked to this SVN URL, now automatically commit the initial schema as is".
Thanks

We are currently reviewing the Source Control product as part of an automate developer deployment center.
We would like to be able to programmatically link a DB to source control, rather than re...
