generator-sqlproj v0.1.0

Yeoman generator-sqlproj

Say yo sqlproj and start developing mssql database.

This project requires Windows OS to build and publish a database because the build and publish tasks depend on Data-tier Application Framework (DacFx). It is available on Windows only.

Getting Started

First, install Yeoman and generator-sqlproj using npm (we assume you have pre-installed node.js).

npm install -g yo
npm install -g generator-sqlproj

Create a new folder for your database project and run yo sqlproj.

mkdir c:\mydatabase
cd c:\mydatabase
yo sqlproj

To import an existing database to the project, install mssql-scripter

pip install mssql-scripter

Then, open ./utils/importdb.ps1 and edit the server, database name to your -S server and -d database. If you are using SQL Login, add -u username and -P password for the connection. Then run it.

powershell ./utils/importdb.ps1 

To build and publish the database project to mssql,

• install Visual Studio 2017 inlcuding Data Storage and Process Workload
• or install Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017 and DacFx (Data-tier Application Framework)

Build

powershell ./utils/build.ps1

Publish

powershell ./utils/publish.ps1

To change the publish target server and database, edit ./publish_profiles/localdev.publish.xml file.
