| SourceGear Vault is a good tool IMO. We switched to it years ago from none other that the crappy MS Visual SourceSafe and it works great. Not only do I as the DBA use it, but our entire development staff uses it as well. |

Are you serious in that is your only problem with VSS? We had all sorts of issues with it once we starting getting past 2 GB of source code stored within it. And trying to use it to meet our disaster recovery requirements - never happened. The product was glitchy, buggy and cumbersome. We switched to SourceGear Vault, configured the product to use SQL Server as the storage medium and presto - we had a tool that was easy to use and folded into our disaster recovery plans easily.But as far as telling what code is in production. Just have different folders for each environment. We have a development, QA, staging and production version of all of our code. Screw all the labels and stuff IMO - it's all overrated for this purpose. |
