I can haz Shared Dev DB?

Local Dev DBs = happy devs :D

…Until Integration timez

• SQL under Source Control• Check in Schema, Ref Data, Migration Scripts

• Revision History

• Merge Conflicts

• Database Continuous Integration & Deploy• Automated Builds

• Automated Database Deploy

• from Source Control to target environment

What we’ll cover20% effort

BIG REWARD!

80% effortMEGA REALLY

HUGE REWARD!

• 1. Never use a shared database server for development work.

• 2. Always Have a Single, Authoritative Source For Your Schema

• 3. Always Version Your Database

K. Scott Allen – Three Rules for DB work

• Same as putting ur codez in SC!• Freedom to refactor (safely with rollbacks)

• Rapid iteration & integration

• Check in logs & history

• Schema Compare

• Data Compare

• Automated builds and integration tests (correctness)

Benefits of DB Source Control

As devs we’re wizards capable of magicing up anything.

Friendly adivce: Avoid that temptation (unless it’s your core business)

• Database Project (.dbproj)

• Server Project

• Data-tier Application (DAC)

• http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee240739(SQL.105).aspx

Microsoft 1st party

• Dacpac• Serializes DB schema to XML (?)

• Versionable, but tricky to do diffs (?)

• Targeted at managing handoff of schema between Dev and Prod

• Think similar to how IT systems hands off VMs

• Bacpac• Extends Dacpac to include Table Data

Team City -> Auto Deploy Data

Build step 1) Deploy schema

C:\Program Files (x86)\Red Gate\SQL Compare 9\SQLCompare.exe

/scr1:%teamcity.build.checkoutDir%/Data /server2:(local) /db2:tccc12_prod /Sync /Include:identical /Report:Report/SchemaDiffReport.html /ReportType:Interactive /ScriptFile:Report/SchemaSyncScript.sql /Force /Verbose

-------------------

Build step 2)

Deploy Reference Data

C:\Program Files (x86)\Red Gate\SQL Data Compare 9\SQLDataCompare.exe

/scr1:%teamcity.build.checkoutDir%/Data /server2:(local) /db2:tccc12_prod /Sync /Include:table:Country /Include:identical /ScriptFile:Report/DataSyncScript.sql /Force /Verbose

Mother of all builds vs Linked Build

Job 1: Get your Sql under Source Control!

Job 2: Get Sql into your CI builds!

Job 3: Test your Data continuously!

Job 4: Deploy continually!

Job 5: Profit!
