Experience the power
of database version control.

Supercharge your workflow by connecting SQL Server to source control. Roll back changes, view history, and more without ever leaving SQL Server Management Studio.

Hey SQL Shaders!

You've already taken a step towards a sleeker and more comfortable SSMS experience with SQL Shades. Now it's time to complete your journey by empowering your workflow with version control.

Introducing VersionSQL, a robust version control add-in hand-crafted specifically for SQL Server Management Studio. While SQL Shades enhances your visual experience, VersionSQL streamlines your database code management and teamwork.

VersionSQL is 2 minutes to learn, extremely fast to use, and solves the everlasting problem of source controlling the SQL database structure.

The database belongs in source control.

Schema and security, together.

Users, roles, and permissions go in the repo with the tables and procedures they protect.

Include the jobs and static data.

Put Agent jobs and the static data your application depends on in the repo.

Native Git, Subversion, and TFVC.

Connects to Azure DevOps, GitHub, etc. No new system to sell the team on.

“Controlling the source for our stored procedures has eluded us for a long time. Thank goodness for VersionSQL!”
-- Tim E., Systems Development Manager · Healthcare · Canada

Commit where you work.

Right-click. Review. Commit.

Commit one stored procedure or the whole database, right from SSMS.

No background scanning.

VersionSQL works when you ask it to. It doesn’t bog down SSMS or your server.

A reminder, when you need it.

Get a nudge when it’s been too long since your last commit. Feel free to hit snooze.

“It's easy to use and doesn't disrupt the workflow in SQL Server Management Studio. Having such reliable version control is very reassuring.”
-- Wolfgang, via Trustpilot

Still here. Still shipping.

VersionSQL has an amazing support team! A bug found was fixed within days, a suggestion for a new feature was accepted and implemented within the next version. In short, I wish all my software providers would act like VersionSQL.

For three years, we have used Version SQL for source control for our three databases. The product is well priced and ideal for our purposes. Whenever we have faced problems, the developer, Michael Van Devender, has been extremely supportive and responsive. I warmly recommend Version SQL.

Built and supported by Michael.

I’ve been building VersionSQL since 2016, and I’m the one who responds to your emails.

A release history you can read.

The changelog is public. Judge the pace and substance for yourself.

No bus factor.

Perpetual licenses validate offline, so the version you have keeps working, even if I don’t.

Also in the box.

  • Commit on a schedule. Set a schedule, and VersionSQL commits the latest changes to your repository for you.
  • Bring your Redgate history. Redgate compatibility mode makes it natural to reuse your repository. No need to start over.
  • Switch Git branches from SSMS. Create a branch or move to one without leaving Object Explorer.
  • Shared database or one per developer. Either way, everyone’s changes land in the same repository.
  • Filter out the noise. gitignore-style object filters keep the parts of your database you don’t track out of the repo.
  • Schema Compare. Review each difference side by side and pick the changes that go live before you build the script.
  • Built for large databases. A tuned scripting engine gets your SQL into source control and gets you back to what you were doing.
  • Other source control? Folder mode writes your SQL to a working folder and runs your own command after each save.
“Its simple and fast SSMS integration, the available GitIgnore options, and automated deployment scripts, backed by fast, reliable support, were the pivotal factors in our decision.”
-- Fabian, via Trustpilot
Commit right from SSMS and straight into GitHub, fantastic! Clients love seeing the historical version comparisons. Big relief, and top notch support too, all at a great price.

Put your next database change on the record.
