in terms of integrating with source control, even a crude ability to "run commandline command for each object's script file" as it is synchronised, would help alot. Then, any source contrl system with a commandline interface could be called, to check the file out, or we could write our own script or program to do it... just tell us the filename, and we'll do the rest! only running it on the objects that are different and being synchronised would ensure a minimum of calls to the SCC system, only checking out files that are actually going to change
Even batch file to be simply run before (to check all objects out), and after (to revert unchanged files) would be better than nothing
In terms of incorporating it into settings, you could specify the commands at a project level, or perhaps at the application level, and each project just has a flag as to whether SCC commands should be run or not. / comments

Related to this, i find it odd that if i type in a search string on the PRojects page, eg a server name, and then sort by a column (say datasource, or last compared date)
I open a project and work with it, then when im done, i want to compare another database... i press Comparison Projects button, and when the project selection screen comes up, it has not remembered my search phrase or my sort column.
i have to drop the search box comobox part, and select my top saved search phrase again. Then click the column i want to sort by / comments

Yeah i understand... its just we hope for so much when we do these beta programs [image]
Infact (and ive said this before), it would be really really good if RedGate could expand its idea of a beta program and deliver us at least ohne fo0llow up beta to the original, so we at least get a 2nd crack at it before the final version. I know it takes overhead to create a beta etc, but i think it would be worth it, and good to give those of us who had raised issues which are now apparently "fixed in the final release" to get another shot at testing it out for you guys, before it's too late! Regular beta updates would be even better...
Im glad to hear that subfolders can be defined though, so that is a bonus. In terms of file naming, at least the default doesnt have square brackets in it anymore... apart from the file extensions, it actually matches what we are using here anyway (owner.object) / comments

How is the suggestion to support wildcarded naming convention not flexible enough for practically ANY conceivable way someone would want it setup?
Provide us some wildcards for server (%SN%), database (%DN%), owner (%OW%), object (%ON%) etc, and we could then format it how we want
If you didnt have time to implement this, that's one thing... but to say you arent sure how to satisfy the majority... id like to know how the suggestion is not flexible enough to cater for nearly anyone's needs!
Does this mean that although you will support reading in from a nested subfolder heirarchy, the scripts you enerate from scratch will be all dumped into a single folder? So not only do we have to rename them, but also have to then somehow sort them into their proper folders (which is hard/cumbersome when all you have is the object name, and a .sql extension - no easy way to tell one object type from another).
I know ill be continuing to use my existing method of scripting files out, and just be using redgate to hopefully "build" into an empty staging database. A shame really [image] / comments

hopefully that includes file extensions other than .sql files as well? / comments

I agree entirely. The sorting/searching etc options are great. I would also like to be able to copy/paste into the browse textbox, and to have the last sort order remembered between application executions
Same deal with the browse dialog when choosing location of snapshot, or the folder to use as a "Scripts folder" datasource. Also when uysing the browse button for locating a folder to use as the scripts folder datasource, if you double click a folder that has no other folders inside it, perhaps it should select that folder and close the dialog, rather than then having to select "Back" then highlighting the folder in question and pressing the "Open" button (very annoying!). Or perhaps when in an empty folder, the Open button should still work, and will use the current folder. / comments

I also agree that this would be a nice (optional) feature. So chalk another vote up to it! / comments

Ive installed the 3.5RC and am happy to see the cross database working well for the most part. Im also happ ythat it supports Database..Table notation as well as Database.dbo.Table, as requested [image]
However i do get a little annoyance here, as i like to have my candidate list pop up very quickly (currenty 50ms), and i also like "." to be a completion character. Thus when i try to do Database..Table, i usually end up with Database.<some user starting with "a">.Table. Would there be any way to have an option to add a single "." to the candidate list when listing roles/schemas/users? Or even an option to make dbo be the default (rather than selecting the first user alphabetically)?
To get around this ive stopped using . as a completion char, but this makes it different to visual studio intellisense and its hard to get used to! / comments
