I need some help from my fellow developers...
-
Colleagues: I have developed a product for Microsoft's SQL Server database. It is a source control tool very similar to what both Red-Gate and ApexSQL are offering but priced very affordably for individual developers. Unlike these two competing products, my software is designed with localized storage so that the files can be easily transferable to another machine that has my software installed. The reason I developed this product was directly related to the many experiences I had in both my consulting assignments and full-time employment where I found that with the exception of those companies that had complete database groups, source control for applications was often poor and erratic while for database version control of SQL's object scripts it was non-existent. On a number of occasions, while developing database applications and alongside that, the SQL procedures and modules to support these applications, I found my efforts hindered by others going in and changing those modules I was working on or even completely wiping them out without my ability to save them on a regular basis so that I could recover them if necessary. Though my product has had several hundred downloads over the time I have been offering it I have received no sales. However, what has dismayed me even more is the lack of comments about my software that would give me an inkling as to why people who had downloaded the product chose not to pursue a purchase. To date I have received one review by a download site that appeared to go through my software on a legitimate basis and liked it very much. Their only complaint was the "stodgy" interface, which I have since modernized. I would like additional input to this effort to better understand if there is something in my work that is deficient or it is merely a marketing issue. As a result, I am offering 5 to 10 license keys to those developers that would take the time to review my product for me and give me some of the insight I am looking for. My software is called, "SQL Server Source Control for Developers" and can be downloaded as a 30-day trial package from my business site... Black Falcon Software These freely available keys will unlock the trial version making it a full version, which can be installed on up to 5 separate machines. To obtain one of these licenses, simply contact me at my email address below and I will forward it to you. If any of you would be willing to take the time out to work with my software and pr
