Integrating SQL Server Tools into SQL Change Automation Deployments
Phil Factor shows how to integrate use of SQL Change Automation, SSMS registered servers, SMO, and BCP to automatically build or update a database on all servers in a group. Read moreSQL Change Automation 4.0: Collaborative Database Development Across Visual Studio and SQL Server Management Studio
SQL Change Automation's Development component for developing new databases and modifying existing databases, using migrations, now integrates directly into SQL Server Management Studio as well Visual Studio. It allows teams to collaborate effectively during development, regardless of their preferred IDE, and in a way that integrates easily with common build/integration servers and release management tools. Read moreYou just Build It don’t you? 12 Common Database Build Blockers
Database deployments, like the sheep of exasperated hill-farmers, often find strange and unexpected ways to self-destruct. Phil Factor describes the most common things that can go wrong, and how a reliable automated database build process can prevent messy accidents. Read moreDatabase Build Blockers: Cross-Server Database Dependencies
Phil Factor demonstrates how to tackle builds when databases make cross-server references. The technique uses synonyms to represent the remote objects, and local 'stub' objects to overcome the problems caused by 'missing references' when building the individual objects. Read moreResolving Cross Database Dependencies in SQL Change Automation using Local Databases or Clones
How to avoid database build failures, caused by circular cross-database object references, by restoring or provisioning copies of all required databases to the development, build, or test SQL Server instance. Read moreDatabase Build Blockers: Mutually Dependent Databases
Phil Factor demonstrates a clever way to create 'stub' objects, in SQL Change Automation pre-deployment scripts, in order to overcome the problems caused by 'missing objects' when building databases that have circular, or mutual, dependencies. In the subsequent deployment, SQL Change Automation fully builds every object in each of the databases, so all dependencies are fully tested. Read moreIntegrating Redgate SQL Code Guard with SonarQube
Greta Rudžionienė provides a step-by-step guide to running SQL code analysis checks, as defined by SQL Code Guard, in SonarQube, a general-purpose code quality tool that can perform continuous code analysis on a variety of languages. Read moreSimple SQL Change Automation Scripting: The Release Object
Once you understand the SCA data objects, it can give you a certain glow of to discover, suddenly, that SCA can do some complicated and time-consuming tasks with just a few lines of code. Phil Factor demonstrates how to get the most of SCA's Release object. Read moreSimple SQL Change Automation Scripting: Connections, iProjects and Builds
