Managing T-SQL source code has never been easy, and has often been the bane for many T-SQL developers. Later this year, this problem will go away as Red Gate Software introduces its new SQL Source Control software, which allows T-SQL code to be managed under source control, while working directly from inside of Management Studio. It allows individual developers and development teams to keep their T-SQL code in synch during database development.

SQL Source Control is currently available as part of Red Gate Software’s Early Access Program. The current version works with the free open source Subversion version control system, and the next Early Access Release will support Microsoft Team Foundation Server.

If you would like to get a head start in using SQL Source Control, and would like to provide feedback before its initial release, you can sign up here.
