Database Development with Team System for Database Professionals “The conceptual Idea behind”

Database Development Life Cycle DatabaseProjectDatabaseProject Import database schema Reverse engineer existing.SQL script files Create New Project SQLScript DatabaseProjectTemplate SQL Server Database Deploy SQL Script SQL Server Database Build project Deploy project

Database Development Database Projects & Schemas “Start with a Baseline”

Project Model The center of gravity The database project represents the “truth” with regards to schema versioning Optionally database project can be placed under source control.SQL script files is the canonical format used Changes are tracked at the “object level” For example indexes, constraints, triggers are tracked independent of the base table definition, in order have the highest granularity of change tracking

Database Projects Defined “Schema” projects SQL Server 2000 SQL Server 2005 “Script Only” projects SQL Server 2000 SQL Server 2005 Different types to support different syntax/language options A project is simply a series of files collected together into a single logical collection The files represent the truth of your schema

Schema Objects The “Meat and potatoes” of the project system All SQL Server objects are reflected here All objects within user databases, that is And that are user-created objects (no system objects) Schema folders reflect the product version So “Service Broker” objects only show up in the SQL Server 2005 project type Table and View are containers for child objects Indexes, Triggers, Constraints, Statistics, Full-text Goal is to be as compatible as possible with SQL Server Management Studio Object Explorer view We use the same icons, folder view when possible

Import Database Schema Also sometimes referred to as reverse engineer Imports an existing database schema into a database project We use the schema compare engine under the covers to generate the script Then submit the script one piece at a time as if you’d typed them in yourself We then turn each object into a separate file in your project

Source Control Integration Full Integration with Visual Studio SCC Interfaces Support out of the box for Team Foundation Server, Visual SourceSafe However, any SCCI compliant source system should work Standard Graphical Interface If you work with VB/C# projects and source control, we’ll behave the same Same icons on project items Same top level/context menu items

DEMO Make the baseline: - The Project System - Import Database Schema - Source Control Integration

Database Development Schema Compare Refactoring “Changes are daily business”

Schema Compare What is Schema Compare? GUI interface and/or SQL scripts to compare diffs Viewer based on “Schema Engine” Allows quick comparisons of Project  Database Database  Database … On Object level Functionality Full SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 support

Refactoring Bring power of refactoring to SQL Cascading Change Update all dependent objects in database project Schema objects, Data generation, Unit Tests, SQL Scripts Make an atomic change Rename Meet corporate standards Better express semantic intent – clarity See more in next session…

Database Development Team Foundation Server Integration Build & Deployment “Be part of the project team”

Team Foundation Server Integration into the Life-Cycle Work Items Flexible work item tracking System for requirements… …Change requests, bugs and issues The other aspects of team collaboration Team Portal – SharePoint site for team collaboration Project Management – manage project resources, timelines and quality Version Control – robust version control system for all project artifacts, including branching, change sets, and shelving Reporting – central data warehouse for real-time project metrics and analytics

Build & Deployment Used for Team Builds Daily Builds/Nightly Builds Deployment Support Deploy via SQL query tool Deploy via MSBuild task Is a standard MSBuild task Configurations New vs. Existing builds Project properties for build Schema compare used for build Pre/Post Deployment scripts Build results in.SQL script file

DEMO Implement change requests: - Use work item(s) - Schema Compare - Refactoring - Build and Deploy the Database Project … and take a look into team collaboration…
