Can ApexSQL Edit 2005 and 2008 use the same Source Control project?

DESCRIPTION
This article describes how to map your database to a Source Control system project if you want to use ApexSQL Edit 2005 and ApexSQL Edit 2008 at the same time.

SOLUTION
If you want to run ApexSQL Edit 2005 and 2008 at the same time and use the Source Control functionality for a database mapped to a Source Control project, then you should map your database to different Source Control projects in each ApexSQL Edit version.
One Source Control project should be used by ApexSQL Edit 2005 and the other one by ApexSQL Edit 2008 as on the screen shot below:



Such a configuration is required because both application versions handle database mappings in a different way. Using the same Source Control project for both application versions will result in a non consistent status of database objects mapped to a Source Control system.

Note: If you upgrade ApexSQL Edit 2005 to 2008 you should remap your database to allow the new application version manage correctly a database mapped to a Source Control system. Just remove database mapping and then map your database to a Source Control again.
