Free Download Devart dbForge Source Control for SQL Server full version standalone offline installer for Windows. This is a convenient SMS add-in for SQL Server database change management in all the popular version control systems and servers.

dbForge Source Control for SQL Server is a powerful SSMS and Visual Studio plugin that integrates your SQL Server databases with popular version control systems, enabling streamlined DevOps, team collaboration, and safe database change management.

Overview of dbForge Source Control for SQL Server

dbForge Source Control for SQL Server bridges the critical gap between database development and application code development. It allows database administrators (DBAs) and developers to manage their database schema and, optionally, static data directly within a version control system like Git, SVN, TFVC, or Mercurial.

By treating database changes as first-class citizens in the software development lifecycle, it eliminates the risks of manual scripting, enables rollbacks, provides a clear audit trail, and facilitates seamless team collaboration. It integrates directly into the familiar environments of SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and Visual Studio, making adoption straightforward.
