Conceptual Overview  Difficult to manage change to the schema  Production database is one version of the truth for data and schema  Database administrator (DBA) doesn’t have access to changes until he/she has deploy or reject choice  Changes often made to production database and not rolled back into test Production Database Management Studio TuningMonitoring “One Version of the Truth” for Data and Schema Schema Schema Changes

Conceptual Overview Production Database Management Studio TuningMonitoring “One Version of the Truth” for Data “One Version of the Truth” for Schema OfflineOffline Under Source ControlUnder Source Control Schema Schema Changes Changes can be rolled out in a scheduled, managed way Scripts allow administrators to mange change updates  Schema change now managed in Visual Studio Team System and Team Foundation Server  Production Database is now “One version of the truth” only for Data  DBA doesn’t have access to changes until he/she has deploy or reject choice  “One Version of the truth for Schema” is Under Source Control

Creating a Project Core concept: offline database developmentCore concept: offline database development Simply a series of files collected together into a single logical collectionSimply a series of files collected together into a single logical collection The files represent the truth of your schemaThe files represent the truth of your schema Can be included in complete solutionCan be included in complete solution Connects to SCCI providers for versioning such as Team Foundation ServerConnects to SCCI providers for versioning such as Team Foundation Server

Offline Development Import database schema to populate project from existing databaseImport database schema to populate project from existing database Changes to schema traditionally have immediate affectChanges to schema traditionally have immediate affect With offline project nothing changes until you deploy the changeWith offline project nothing changes until you deploy the change

12 Benefits of Approach Managed, project oriented evolution of database schema Application and database schema can now be managed together Work in “isolation”, deploying only when changes verified through empirical means Leverage VSTS work item tracking and process guidance increases team collaboration and unity

Incorporate the database professionals into the software life cycle and provide them with a foundation for change management and process integration.  Change Management  Project-Based Development  Project Model that represents schema as objects providing a “personal sandbox” for offline development that lives within a Visual Studio solution  Team Collaboration with Work Item and Process Integration with Microsoft ® Visual Studio ® 2005 Team Foundation Server  Automated Change Support  Rename Refactoring with the ability to preview pending changes prior to execution  Comparison Tools (Schema and Data Compare) allow comparisons and synchronization of schema and data with design/test/production databases  Source/Version Control of all database objects with the ability to reverse engineer a database to bring it under Source Control  Database Unit Testing  Leverages the Test Project Infrastructure  Generate “Real and Meaningful” Data Values through the ability to import information such as Row Counts and histograms from a real database  Data Generator provides Repetitive Dataset Generation for tests based on saved settings  Build / Deployment  MSBuild Integration for Database Deployments/Builds based on Projects  Either Create a new Database at the target location or Update an Existing Schema
