Version Control Software Recommendations

  • Any recommendations on a good version control software to manage our Stored Procedure changes and Queries?

    Thanks,

  • Team foundation server 2010 is pretty good, but maybe wait for 2012

    if your organisation is too small to afford TFS then you can't beat Subversion (SVN) and Tortoise

    with SVN you can combine it with other tools such as NANT and Team City to get a reasonable system up and running

  • All VCS software is similar and works well for what we tend to do with SQL objects. However for the most part it's a manual process for the check-in/check-out.

    If you have TFS, it integrates a bit with Visual Studio, and many people like it, but it's pricey. I have used Subversion lately, it's free, with lots of clients to choose from. Many people seem to like Git or Mercurial better that I talk with.

    Red Gate Software has a SQL Source Control product that integrates with any of these VCS systems and provides check in/check out and more from within SSMS.

    Disclosure, I work for Red Gate Software.

  • the other thing to consider is do you want to do CI (continuous integration) builds on your checked in code......
