We are originally using team foundation server for our .net and database project in visual studio.
But since we have multiple platforms, we decided to change to use subversion and totoise as source control system.
Now I would like to know how to convert my existing project/solution from team foundation server source control to subversion.
And in the future, is that still easy to use database project and deploy it to subversion source control system?
Thanks

There are two steps to the conversion. First, the easy part, you have to change your connection strings. That's a straight-forward edit on the properties of the project in Visual Studio. The second, migrating from TFS to Subversion. Personally, I wouldn't. I'd just reverse engineer my project into subversion after making the connection change. You'll lose history and branches, but it'll be easy. If you really want to migrate the history, you'll have to look up elsewhere how to do that.
In terms of, is it easier to use Subversion than TFS within Visual Studio, the answer is no. Microsoft directly supports TFS as the principal management tool within VS. Any other approach is gluing things on to the side. It's going to be harder & more work.
