Using SQLCMD in Visual Studio to run sql scripts NOT IN a database project
Posted on 2011-09-22
Hi
I am part of a team using Visual Studio/Team Foundation Server to manage database development.
We are using a database project to manage schema changes.
We have a folder in TFS, not in the database project where we keep run-once-only scripts to update metadata/config data. We see no reason in keeping these in the Pre/PostDeployment script area of the database project as these files will not be updated once they have been run.
My question is: is there a way to refer to files in a TFs folder, so that I can create a single deployment script with something like:
:r "$/MyProject/MetaDataScrip
:r "$/MyProject/MetaDataScrip
where the path is refering the source location in TFS Source Control Explorer?
Thanks

As long as all access is in place at folder and SQL database lever for the NT/SQL login(s) that are running the SQL scripts I can't see why not. All you need to provide is the full path to the SQL script file and make sure folder/db access is in place.
