1. DATABASE SCHEMA MANAGEMENT &
DEPLOYMENT USING SQL SERVER DATA
TOOLS (SSDT)

2. SQL SERVER DATA TOOLS (SSDT)
• Developer-focused toolset for building SQL Server & SQL Azure
databases
• Core Experiences:
• Connected Development
• Project Based Development
• Application Lifecycle & Tools
• Fundamentals:
• Declarative, model based database development
• Integrated tools with modern language services
• Connected and offline with local testing
• Target SQL Server and SQL Azure
• Detecting and managing database drift

3. INTRODUCING SQL SERVER DATA TOOLS

5. CONNECTED DEVELOPMENT

6. CONNECTED DEVELOPMENT
• SQL Server Object Explorer (SSOX)
• Modeled after SSMS object explorer
• Modern T-SQL Coding Experience
• Buffered Declarative Object Editing
o Model-based with Error Detection
• Imperative Script Execution
• T-SQL IntelliSense
• Code-behind Table Designer
• View/Edit/Script Data (incl. copy/paste)
• Execute/Debug T-SQL Procedures, Functions

7. PROJECT-BASED DEVELOPMENT

8. PROJECT-BASED DEVELOPMENT
• Database definition managed in a Visual Studio project
• Multi-target SQL Server {2005, 2008, 2008R2, 2012, Azure}
• Advanced Language Services for T-SQL
• Go To Definition/Find All References/Refactoring
• F5 debugging with LocalDB
• Visualize schema differences and migrate changes
• Publish direct to database or via SQL script or DACPAC
• Integrated database drift detection
• Point-in-time Snapshot
• Drag & Drop import from SQL Server Object Explorer

9. APPLICATION LIFECYCLE & TOOLS
• MSBuild tasks for:
• Build
• Publish
• T-SQL Static Code Analysis
• MSBuild in a redist (SSDTBuildUtilities.msi)
• Database projects in build server environment (like Team Build) without
installing full VS on build server
• SSDT Integrates with all standard VS SCCS providers
• DACFX v3
• Schema Compare
• Publish

11. PUBLISHING & COMPARISON

12. PUBLISHING YOUR DATABASE CHANGES
• Target version aware:
• SQL Server 2005
• SQL Server 2008 & SQL Server 2008 R2
• SQL Server 2012
• SQL Azure
• Publish
• Direct, via SQL script, or DACPAC snapshots

13. DAC FRAMEWORK V3.0 (DACFX)
• DAC Framework
• DACFX is the core SQL redist providing modeling, reverse engineering and
deployment pipeline capabilities
• v3.0 supports the full domain of SQL Server 2005, 2008/R2, 2012, and SQL
Azure
• Managed Public API
• Exposes verbs for DACPAC and BACPAC operations
• Command-line tool (SqlPackage.exe)
• Exposes DACPAC verbs, project publish
• DACUnpack.exe
• Windows file handler for unpacking DACPAC to disk
• DACFX Clients
• SSMS, SSDT, SAMP, I&E, VS Web and DB Publishing

14. DACPAC TRANSPORTABLE SCHEMA FORMAT

15. SQL SERVER DATA TOOLS – SUMMARY
• Developer-focused toolset to author, debug and publish SQL Server &
SQL Azure databases
• Supports SQL Platform
• Free, web updates for SQL Server and SQL Azure releases
• Works in concert with other SQL Server tooling (SAMP, SSMS)
• Compatible with your development environment
• Supports Visual Studio 2010 & Visual Studio 11
• Migrates VS2010 database projects (*.dbproj)
