This is a tool that helps manage version control of SQL databases and objects from inside SSMS.

This tool works seamlessly with major source control systems to provide the versioning features. These include Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, Subversion, Team Foundation Server and SourceGear Vault, etc. You would be able to setup source control connections. Mappings can be managed graphically with the help of a graphical wizard. You would not need any additional source control client. The tool supports SQL Server 2012 databases and objects. These include FileTables, sequences, search property lists, columnstore indexes, poison message handling attribute for queues, geometry and geography, auto grid tessellation scheme for spatial indexes, etc. Object level versioning feature lets you control versioning of each object individually.
