Summary
SourceAnywhere Standalone by Dynamsoft Corporation
A SQL-based replacement for Visual SourceSafe. SourceAnywhere Standalone is a SQL-based source control tool designed to be a replacement for Microsoft Visual SourceSafe. SourceAnywhere Standalone stores source control files and history in repositories in Microsoft SQL Server. The SourceAnywhere Standalone Server serves one SQL database and you can create any number of repositories in this database. The SourceAnywhere Standalone Client is a GUI application that resembles the SourceSafe Explorer user interface. Users can perform most SourceSafe operations in a similar fashion.

Enhanced features of Visual SourceSafe/VSS - SourceAnywhere Standalone has many enhancements of VSS operations, such as:
Strong label management: you can add or delete items from a label, or change the version of an item in a label
Strong branch management: you can branch any files or projects from any version to a new location, or branch from a label
Strong versioning support: you can visually view the whole project tree and any items in the tree from any version or a label
Wide IDE integration - SourceAnywhere Standalone supports all MSSCCI compatible IDE integrations, such as Microsoft Visual Studio, .NET and IBM Rational
Enhanced robustness and scalability - Built on Microsoft SQL Server 2000, SourceAnywhere Standalone enables you to scale up and scale out to meet the needs of even the largest repository
Atomic commit - If an operation on the repository is interrupted in the middle, your data will not be left in an inconsistent state.
Strong change set support - A group of related operations can be treated as one change set and the version number of all the parent items increases by 1
Reduced repository storage – Using Delta Storage technology, SourceAnywhere Standalone saves only the difference of each version, so that the storage of repository is reduced significantly. Delta Storage works on both binary and text files
