SSMS: Database could not be detected as it is linked. Make sure that the user has linked a database to source control

My colleague has tried RedGate's product "Ready Roll" on our database which is also linked to Sql Source Control (also RedGate). After he uninstalled Ready Roll, none of us (him nor the rest of our team) can alter any stored procedures or make changes to the database any more.

Management Studio just shows a blank error pane with this text:

Database could not be detected as it is linked. Make sure that the user has linked a database to source control

Some of us have tried unlinking and relinking the database to Sql Source Control, but without success.

Any ideas on how to restore our ability to develop on the database again?

Solution

  • Do you also make use of ApexSQL Source Control and using the shared development model? Unlink the ApexSQL DB.
