One of the toughest things about database development is working without source control. It's standard for application development, but for some reason databases haven't caught up.
So, to help bring database code up to speed with application code, it now exists SQL Source Control, a plug-in that connects SSMS to your existing source control system. You can carry on with development as normal, but check your work in and out as you go.
It keeps your code safe, stores a history of your changes, and supports a range of version control systems, so you don't have to make big changes to the way you work. It's also pretty quick to set up.
Let's take a look and see if it's the most useful thing created for database developers! Download a 28-day free trial here!
