Hi Koray Thank you for reaching out via the Redgate forums and sorry to hear about your problem. Can you please confirm the full version of your ANTS program; this can be found in Help > About ANTS Performance Profiler I am looking for specifically the patch number after 11.4.* Looking at our releases there were two releases in the last couple of weeks and one of them has been pulled - if you are on version V11.4.5 can I request you patch into the latest version V11.4.6 and verify if this slowness is still being found Download link available here: https://download.red-gate.com/checkforupdates/ANTSPerformanceProfiler/ANTSPerformanceProfiler_11.4.6.4353.exe / comments

Hi Henry Winkler Thank you for reaching out via the Redgate forum regarding your bulk validation inquiry. If you’re looking to validate a large number of SQL scripts at once, SQL Prompt does include a Bulk Code Analysis feature. This lets you select a folder of SQL files and run all of SQL Prompt’s code analysis rules over them in one go. This can be run through SSMS or via a CLI process. It’s useful for spotting syntax issues, rule violations, and potential problems across a wide codebase without having to open each file individually. [image] That said, it’s worth noting a couple of limitations for your scenario:
Bulk Code Analysis works on SQL files, not directly against database objects in a live database. If your custom objects exist only inside a database, you’d need to script them out first.
The analysis is static, so while it can catch many issues, it won’t always identify broken dependencies caused by schema changes (e.g. views/stored procedures referencing dropped or renamed columns).
For that, you’d typically supplement with SQL Server’s system views (like sys.sql_expression_dependencies) or test recompiling objects against the upgraded schema. Bulk operations in SQL Prompt, including Bulk Code Analysis, require either a SQL Toolbelt Essentials or SQL Toolbelt license. You can find more details here: https://documentation.red-gate.com/sp/features-requiring-a-specific-license/bulk-operations/bulk-operations-in-ssms/bulk-code-analysis / comments

If git works fine from the command line but Flyway Desktop still shows Permission denied (publickey,password), it can mean that the Git client isn’t picking up your SSH setup. A few things you can try:
Force the key at repo level Run this inside your repo folder:
git config --local core.sshCommand "ssh -i C:/Users/<you>/.ssh/id_rsa -o IdentitiesOnly=yes"
Start Flyway Desktop with verbose SSH From the cmdline:
set GIT_TRACE=1
set GIT_SSH_COMMAND=ssh -vvv -i C:\Users\<you>\.ssh\id_rsa -o IdentitiesOnly=yes
Then launch Flyway Desktop from the same CMD and try Fetch. The -vvv verbose level 3 log will show whether your key is being offered.
Use an SSH config alias Create C:\Users\<you>\.ssh\config with:
Host mygit
HostName <ip-or-host>
User <ssh-user>
IdentityFile C:/Users/<you>/.ssh/id_rsa
IdentitiesOnly yes
Then set your remote to that alias:
git remote set-url origin <ssh-user>@mygit:/path/to/repo.git
Check your agent Make sure the key is loaded:
ssh-add -l
ssh -T <ssh-user>@<ip>
Hopefully one of these steps helps you get some traction with your Flyway project pulling from your git server / comments

Hi Don, Sorry to hear this is repeating for you. Up until now I was only aware of this being an initial concern when first installing SQL Prompt into SSMS21. Does it reoccur after patching SQL Prompt, or at different times? / comments

Hi ptusch Thank you for reaching out via the Redgate forums for your Flyway process questions. If the external views are changing often and outside your control, versioned migrations in Flyway will indeed be painful. A few general approaches that work well:
Treat external views as “volatile”
Don’t version them. Instead, keep your own dependent views in repeatable scripts so they can be recreated whenever the external view changes.
Use repeatables with ordering
Flyway runs repeatables alphabetically. Many teams just prefix numbers like R__001_ to control order. It’s manual but simple and works reliably.
Automate refresh
If view B changes, you can trigger Flyway to re-run all dependent repeatables (e.g., drop & recreate) in CI/CD. Placeholders or a wrapper script can handle this.
Consider keeping some logic outside Flyway
If external volatility is too high, managing those dependencies in application code or a separate process may be simpler than forcing Flyway to track every change.
For Snowflake, this hybrid approach (version core objects, repeatable or scripted refresh for volatile ones) can be common. / comments

Hi cserna.peter Thank you for reaching out on the Redgate forum regarding your Flyway self-hosted GIT inquiry. You need to point Flyway Desktop’s built-in Git to your SSH key, as it doesn’t always use the same config as your terminal. A quick fix is to edit your global .gitconfig (e.g. C:\Users\<you>\.gitconfig ) and add: [core]
sshCommand = "ssh -i C:/Users/<You>/.ssh/id_rsa" Then restart Flyway Desktop. Also make sure your key is loaded with: ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa and that git remote -v shows an SSH URL (not HTTPS). This usually fixes the Permission denied (publickey) error for the embedded Git client. / comments

Hi Murali, Thank you for contacting Redgate support regarding your code coverage concern, I suspect this is related to our SQL Test product and have moved this post into a new location on our forums to better represent that. SQL Test provides a UI wrapper around the tSQLt framework, it doesn’t change or extend the tSQLt functionality itself. In other words, SQL Test runs whatever tSQLt syntax you provide, but the underlying behavior (such as how tSQLt.ExpectException or tSQLt.ExpectNoException works) comes from the tSQLt framework, not from SQL Test. Because of this, issues with exception handling or coverage inside tSQLt tests are usually best addressed by checking the tSQLt documentation or raising the question with the tSQLt community. https://tsqlt.org/join-the-conversation We’re happy to help confirm that SQL Test is running the tests correctly, but troubleshooting tSQLt specific logic is outside the scope of our product support. That said, some general guidance we’ve seen work for other users:
tSQLt.ExpectException only detects errors that escape the procedure — if your CATCH block swallows the error without THROW /RAISERROR , nothing reaches the test framework.
For coverage, you may need to either rethrow the error or assert side-effects (like rows in a log table) instead of expecting an exception.
You can find more details here: tSQLt Documentation – ExpectException If you’re not sure whether SQL Test itself is working correctly or if this is purely a tSQLt logic issue, we can potentially help you confirm that. / comments

Hi Mohammed Hamed, Thanks for reaching out regarding your Flyway Desktop error. Could you please provide the following details to help us investigate further?
The version of Flyway you're using
A full copy of the logs
A brief description of what you were doing when the error occurred (e.g., running a migration, opening a project, saving objects)
I see you have a ticket logged directly with the support team - It would be preferred to communicated via the support portal as it can ensure a more direct line of communication with the support team and allow you to provide log files with our team securely. / comments

That is great news and I'm glad you both have Prompt up and running. The double checkbox is a carry over from a Visual Studio bug in the execution of our extensions. With SSMS now using the VS framework it's going to be visible to a larger user base of our Toolbelt products. Our development team do have it on their backlog and hopefully can be reprioritized for a solution to be implemented as we see SSMS21 use grow. The manual copy of settings issue should also be resolved from V11.0.1 onwards for people migrating into V11 from an existing install. / comments

I did now see that you mentioned having both unchecked - this should be the trigger for it to appear. I was able to replicate the menu disappearing by having one or both of the extensions checked. Did you upgrade straight from V10 to V11? and if so into V11.0.0? There is a known issue with some settings not being copied over. It may be worth also checking this info to manually copy over some user-settings that may not have migrated. https://documentation.red-gate.com/sp/troubleshooting/common-issues/manual-migration-of-settings-from-sql-prompt-v10-to-v11 If that still doesn't resolve the displaying of SQL Prompt, please advise and we can look deeper into this. / comments
