Version-control scripts in your working folders

A working folder contains SQL script files that represent your database. It allows you to script database changes to a database folder. After saving changes, the database working folder can be source-controlled with your version control system in the same way you version-control other files.

Handle changes in Source Control Manager

Perform the essential SQL version control tasks visually:

Commit: Update the source control with your local changes
Get Latest: Update your database with the latest changes from the source control
Resolve conflicts: Resolve discrepancies between the latest version of an object in the source control and the one in the local database in two ways:
- Get Local: Your version of the object will be committed to the source control
- Get Remote: Your changes will be discarded; the local database will be updated with the latest version of the object from the source control

Version-control schemas and reference data

Store and share any SQL Server object and static data. With dbForge Source Control, you can do the following:

Link static data to a repository
Commit, revert, and get the latest static data change
Handle static data conflicts

View changes history

Look through a full revision history of a database or a certain database object with the Changes History document. You can clearly see the changes made as well as who, when, and why made them.

Work on a central database or your own local copy

dbForge Source Control for SQL Server supports two models for database development: Dedicated and Shared.

Dedicated model allows developers to work with their own copies of the database
Shared model suggests that all developers work on a single shared database

Regardless of the choice of the database development model, Source Control for SQL Server ensures safe and convenient data change management.

Learn more about the differences between shared and dedicated database development models.

Roll back unwanted changes

Easily cancel any local changes you don't want to commit. Just select the required changes in the Local changes section of Source Control Manager and click Undo.
