Where does test data come from? Production data? Scrubbed production data? Typed in manually? Auto-generated?

Managed, project oriented evolution of database schema Application and database schema are managed together Work in “isolation”, deploying only when changes verified Leverage VSTS work item tracking and process guidance increases team collaboration and unity

Using the project settings: msbuild NorthwindOnline.dbproj /t:build Overwriting project settings msbuild NorthwindOnline.dbproj /t:build /p:TargetConnectionString="Data Source=(local)\sql80;Integrated Security=True;Pooling=False;" /p:TargetDatabase="NorthwindOnlineTestDB"

How can I deploy to multiple targets? The Database Project only understand a single target server/database at the time for each server+database combination in list { SqlBuildTask SqlDeployTask }
