We decided to use ApexSQL Source Control. It is fully implemented using the shared development environment. It is working nicely, but, as with Git for program code, it takes some training and practice. / comments

When I tried it, I ended up with a list of un-staged script files. Even the Red Gate support people were confused about it when I submitted a support ticket. One said that, when he does it, the files are already staged. The other said that, when he tested it his results were the same as mine and he would consult with the developers. Looks like they really have not gotten their act together on Git. The article to which I have been referred several times, https://productsupport.red-gate.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007957193-Using-Shared-Mode-with-Git does not saying anything about how to use shared mode with Git. It just described some unlikely scenario that does not occur in our environment and uses it as a justification to ignore shared mode. I have been a developer for 40 years and writing SQL code for nearly 30 and none of the "reasons" for insisting on dedicated databases make any sense to me. They seem to be oblivious to the fact that the databases are not programs and do not function in an isolated environment. Setting up and using a dedicated database has an enormous overhead. / comments

Just reviewed the information about Flyway Desktop. Our needs are so light that we might be able to make do with the Community version. Does it require Java? I noticed a mention of Java compatibility and Maven repositories. / comments

Just tried out an evaluation version of ApexSQL Source Control. Shared mode with Git works very well there. They don't appear to have any of the technical limitations that Red Gate is having. Must be a different set of developers working on Red Gate SQL Source Control than on SQL Prompt. Prompt is a wonderful product and life would be must more tedious without it. Don't know what happened to SQL Source Control. / comments

Yes, saw then in my investigation. It does not make any sense to me why Red Gate would go to the effort to make the SQL Source Control work with some local repositories and not these. As a developer, I don't see any significant difference. Of course, they would not sell as many copies of SQL Clone that way. / comments

Mike U's comment about the shared model not being compatible with Git does not make any sense to me. Even in dedicated mode, each developer has their own local repository which can change independently of any central remote. I see no difference as far as repositories go. Regarding actual history of changes, the Source Control is independent of the database. / comments

I have similar questions about SQL Source Control. Dedicated databases are not practical for us. SQL Clone costs nearly $10,000. I am tempted to go find something like ApexSQL Source Control that does support shared database mode. I did find a way to link with shared mode but the documentation only shows half of what is it needed to do it. Essentially, all that SQL Source Control does is write scripts for the database objects into text files and then says "OK, use your own tools from here on out." The Git GUI that comes with Git works fine, but, if it is so simple, why is Red Gate ignoring it? / comments

Thank you for that. I just did the same and the ESC key is working fine now. / comments

I have not noticed that it stopped working for any other situation. I do have another extension. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll remove that other extension and see if that makes a difference. I have been using both extensions for several years now and only recently noticed that the ESC has stopped working. I'll also ask vendor of SSMS ToolPack to see if they recently made changes that would have this effect. Possibly they changed whether the ESC key is passed on after firing their own event for it. / comments
