How to maintain version history in the same file in team foundation server 2008
Hi Experts,
How to maintain version history in the same file in tfs 2008?
Our requirement is to maintain version history / updated date information inside the checkin files (database .sql files) This will help us to track the post deployment issues with respect to database.
This is something similar to Keyword expansion feature in Visual Source Safe. I have seen some articles in google which says, keyword explansion support has been removed in TFS 2008.
Without this feature, i am facing lot of problems in my current project.
But is there any workaround to achieve this?
i have so many hopes in experts exchange EXPERTS
Any kind of hlep is highly appreciable.

Hi,
I have gone through that link, but not exactly the same.
Below is my exact requirement.
I have the database scipts at production, Staging and Testing environment.
Currently, i don't have any version control for the db scripts. Due to that problem, for any issues with respect to the database scripts, i am unable to track the version of that script which is running at Production or Staging server.
To address that problem, i have to maintain the version history on the top of the script file itself.
So any additional information would be greatly appreciated.

This question has been answered. TheLearnedOne provided proof that the feature has been removed in TFS 2008 and I provided a workaround. There's also other suggestions for workarounds listed in TheLearnedOne's link. While the workarounds are not simple and I did not provide sample code, I think it deserves a C or B - the question was answered.
