TFS is driving me and the other developers absolutely mad.
Over the years I have worked with various versions of Visual Source Safe (VSS) and several incarnations of SVN. I have enjoyed using them and they have allowed me to deliver outstanding solutions to companies.
Alas, come TFS 2013 the destroyer of all expert Database and Data Warehouse masters. I honestly get the idea behind it and how it is supposed to be the "proper way" of doing database deployment. But how much easier, quicker and endlessly more efficient was it to be able to open up your Drop/Create statements from file straight into Management Studio, do all of your coding using nifty tools such as Redgates SQL Prompt and then save the file thereafter checking it in.
Now editing all of the objects is a real frustration as it has to go and do all it's checks and do a full deployment. Not only that but I have to move code in and out of Management Studio. After several discussions we are all in agreement that for the size of team and the development approaches and methodology, TFS is reaping absolute havoc on us.
Has anybody else had a similar problem and what was your solution?
