Are there future plans to make sgmaster a config setting?

[sc001]

This is a bit of an edge case, but I use sg vault for my projects, as a single developer. It's by far the best source control out there for doing it, however one gripe I have is that I want to host the sgvault and sgmaster databases on shared hosting. These database names are both taken, I can change the settings so sgvault is renamed but not sgmaster as I can it's hardcoded into the VaultSQL assembly.

Are there any plans to make it so they both use the same database, or the sgmaster is also a web.config setting? That would be extremely useful for me

Thanks

I don't think there are any plans at this time to merge them back together. We used to have a one database system prior to Vault 4.0. If you could get a separate instance, then your databases would be separate from the other user's databases.

What some of our users do who use hosting is use one of the providers who offer Vault. There's a couple listed on our partners page: http://www.sourcegear.com/company/partners.html

This is really only for personal use, so I'm trying to avoid the hosted route. I did this with subversion and realised I may as well use my web hosting.

Could I run the sgmaster database locally, the sgvault remotely? Do they have to be on the same SQL Server?

Having the databases in two different locations would only work if the one SQL instance can connect to both databases. Basically, you would either have your local SQL managing the remote database or the remote SQL database managing one on your machine. I'm not sure if SQL would allow that. If you got it to work, you'd probably take a pretty big performance hit.

Does your web host offer you the option to be on a different SQL instance?
