Checking Out Files from Interactive SQL

Once you open a file in Interactive SQL, use the command on the File menu to check the file out.

1. Choose File > Open and then browse to the file you want to open.

   The file status (Checked In, Checked Out, or Not Controlled) appears on the status bar at the bottom of the Interactive SQL window.

2. Check out the file by choosing File > Source Control > Check Out.
3. Depending on which source control product you are using, you may be prompted for a comment or other options as part of the check out procedure.
   Note: If you are using a SCC-compliant source control system, the status is always accurate. However, if you use the custom source control system, the status is based on whether the file is read-only or not. A read-only file is assumed to be checked in, but no assumptions are made about editable files because they could be either checked out or not controlled.
