VSS vs. CVS

[lieberlady]

For those of you who have used both Visual Source Safe and CVS with PL/SQL Developer, do you have a preference, and why?

well this ia a bit like comparing apple to orange

VSS = Cost $$$, quite a bit actually. Need a license for EACH user.
It's no-brainer easy to use. My grandmother can use it.
Heck she can be an "VSS Admin".

CVS = Free. Not so idiot-friendly as VSS

A third option in the VCS arena I'd suggest you check out is CS-RCS, from ComponentSoftware.com. It's not free, but it's not that pricy either. I find it has a very low cost of administration - we just run it off our fileserver and I almost never have to do anything for/to it. It also integrates well into PL/SQL Developer.

[Babo]

Hello,

ScottMattes & Babo:
Please click at very useful function at the top of the page called "search", type in "subversion" in a search words field ... .
Yes, I am using subversion, but mainly not from within PLSD. I always keep my work in files and I am used to use stand-alone clients or shell extension (Tortoise).
How to configure subversion-scc proxy you can read in:

That great work was done by "witchi" user.
