BUG: Source Control Times Out When Adding Stored Procedures

ID: Q234906

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual InterDev, version 6.0
Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, 32-bit, for Windows 6.0
Microsoft SQL Server versions 6.5 Service Pack 4 and later, 7.0

SYMPTOMS

When attempting to place a large number of stored procedures under source control the following error appears:

[Microsoft ODBC Driver] timeout expired.

NOTE: If you set a timeout value in the data tools option pages, the error will still appear.

CAUSE

This is a bug.

RESOLUTION

To workaround this bug complete the following steps:

Add your Source Control database.

Wait until the timeout error message appears.

Save the project and reload.

When the project reloads in Visual InterDev it will be attached to the Visual Source Safe Database. The stored procedures that were sucessfully placed under Source Control will marked as such.

The remaining procedures can then be placed under Source Control by right-clicking on the individual procedures within Visual InterDev, and selecting "add to source control".

Repeat steps 2-4 until all the stored procedures have been added sucessfully to Source Control.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
