Sure, there are various mechanisms out there to script objects out into the file system and version those but it’s a real pain to actually synchronise back into other environments. The simplicity with which we version other applications files – HTML, images, classes, etc – hasn’t been readily achievable in the database world. Versioning database objects very much fits into the same realm in that it’s a nightmare to do without a dedicated tool. They’re tools I tend to berate developers for not having and have regularly waxed lyrical about in the past, albeit it within 140 characters until now. After all, SQL Source Control is from the guys who brought us SQL Compare and Data compare, two of my all-time favourite tools in the “stuff that would be a real pain to do without” category. I knew it was going to be good before even seeing it.
