DacFx Model API – What is it?

SSDT model’s a database’s schema, the API lets you access that model programmatically.

You can load, query and manipulate the schema to do what ever you like (within reason)

API model is loosely typed, the TSqlModel class contains loosely typed TSqlObject’s that represent all the elements in your schema

Each object will have some properties that describe it’s state and the relationships to other objects in the model

Use strongly typed classes to find the properties/relationships of an object using TsqlModel.GetObjects

private static void ReadTheModel(TSqlModel model) {

// This will get all tables. Note the use of Table.TypeClass!

var tables = model.GetObjects(DacQueryScopes.Default, Table.TypeClass).ToList();

}

API does not fully support everything an SSDT project supports! Feature Supported
