[CANCELED] Apply checked out files

[theo geer]

mousers email convinced me!

I work in TFS a lot, and I also do a lot of SQL. It's a pain in the ass redeploying a whole db when I've only changed a few procedures. It's equally a pain when several people are working on the same test db.

This simple utility will connect to a TFS Collection, a SQL Server, and execute all the .sql files you have checked out. There will be some credential storage as well as some options such as "Only apply files in this directory, only apply .proc.sql files, etc."

I hope to have a beta up by the 15th

Sounds interesting, have colleagues that are going to like it too

Yay! Theo geer! Glad mouser's email convinced you

theo geer, if you want to make any more changes/updates to the program before releasing it, let me know. It's a great app, and we want to get it screencasted as soon as possible. The way mouser and I know these apps are ready is when the authors change "Pledge" and/or "Early Beta" in the OP title to include the word Release.

Hey, Sorry for the Delay. -- I'm going to be running right up to the wire on this one. A significantly busier than anticipated work schedule has caused me to scale back a bit, but I have hope that things will be good to go before the deadline!!

[kyrathaba]

Good deal!  Just change the title in your original post to include the word Release when you're ready. That'll clue us to do the screencast.

Alright everyone. I'm so sorry but I'm going to have to declare failure this year. Everything was going fine this morning, but I just hit an unexpected snag in the problem space that I can't surmount today. If I work around it the application will be useless to anyone who uses dbprojects to manager their stuff, which is the majority of my target.

Please don't hate me too much! I'll try and tackle the problem in the new year!

[kyrathaba]

No hate, theo!   Hope it works out better next time. I'm still looking forward to seeing what you've come up with when all the snags get sorted.
