  • I have not used the pro edition of sql compare, but have used older versions and it was very good for finding differences between two databases but I would not have called it version control. Never been a great lover of sourcesafe but have used Subversion to good effect. It needs (as do all version control mechanisms) some discipline but allows you to track every change to the db, stored procs etc.

  • I recommend you to visit the Red Gate website for support, and their forum is great at answering questions

    I believe to integrate SQL Compare with Version Control software, you may need the Changeset software

    for versionin of database. you can perform the following

    at the launch of every new version of the application, create a backup of the dB from the production sever[if possible], and create the database scripts upto that stage.
