How to view Source Control history

dbForge Studio for SQL Server offers a Changes History document to:

  • View the changes history for the entire database or separate database objects
  • View the details of each commit, including revision ID, date, author, and comments
  • View a list of objects that were modified in each commit
  • View DDL differences for each object
  • Compare two revisions
  • Search for object names

Note

The Changes History document is unavailable when your database is linked to a working folder.

No Changes History

To open the Changes History document, in Database Explorer, right-click a required linked database and select Source Control > View Changes History.

To compare two revisions, select the revisions by holding the Ctrl key. The differences are highlighted in red:

Revision history

In the Changes History document, you can search for specific names of database objects. The default search mode is case-insensitive. It means that searching, for example, for sales will highlight the name containing the text sales or Sales. As you type, the text that matches your search criteria will be highlighted in the grid. The number of matching names will be displayed in the search bar.

Search for the text

If you write the text divided by spacebars, each subsequent input will highlight new results.

Search for the text

To remove the search input, click clear symbol in the search bar.
