I couldn't agree more on your hatred of VSS. Nasty stuff. I've had great luck in the past with Subversion, but a new project I've become involved with is entirely webbased and I've been keeping my eyes open for web based solutions that may be a better fit. Oh well.</p> <p>Thanks for your help. Keep posting great SQL tips. They are invaluable to me.</p> <p>-E</p> Thanks. I couldn’t agree more on your hatred of VSS. Nasty stuff.

All of them are in version control now, too. Enjoy!</p> I’ve packaged the scripts up and made prominent download links at the tops of the respective articles.

I'm primarily a command-line lover. I have used Microsoft Visual Source[un]Safe at a previous employer, and hate its guts. I've used CVS and Subversion the most. I evaluated a bunch of systems for an employer once, and in my opinion CVS and Subversion are excellent choices for most jobs, especially when run over SSH to a remote server with public-key authentication (and if you use Windows, check out TortoiseCVS and TortoiseSVN, as they are tremendous tools). There are issues with both systems but it's not a big deal for most projects. There are actually a ton of systems available, most of them better at some specialized task (e.g. Bitkeeper, git).</p> Eric, I haven’t used any web-based version control systems.

I like this 'changelog' idea that you have invented... Can you do an article on what it does and how you use it? ;)</p> <p>Speaking of CVSishness, do you have any experience with any web-based platforms? I've used (and will probably just stick with) SourceForge for a new project I'm starting, but the interface makes me cringe. I've been looking around for some new 'Web2.0-ish' online project management thing but haven't had any luck yet. Any ideas?</p> <p>I would just run my own, but I don't have a decent server connected to the internet yet... heh.</p> <p>-E</p> Hrrm… I like this ‘changelog’ idea that you have invented… Can you do an article on what it does and how you use it? ;)

I don't know.</p> <p>Another improvement I want to make is make it easier to download them, along with a "change log," which is my innovative new idea to track the changes I've made ;-) Soon I'll be packaging them up and making very visible "download this script" links on the pages. I've also been very lax about putting them into version control, though I'm not sure why, since I've even got a CVS repository set up on my web server. I guess it's a case of the cobbler's children going barefoot -- I do this stuff all the time at my work, but for some reason I never gave much thought to doing it for these scripts.</p> Yeah, there have been changes and improvements, but when and what were they?
