MS SQL Server - Create schema dump without FILENAME property - sql-server

Question

I would like to create an SQL Server schema dump from a local server that I can run from within an sql server docker container to create an empty database ready for integration tests.
I generate the scripts via SQL Server Management Studio. I right click the database > Tasks > Generate script and set Types of data to script to "Schema only".
I copy the sql files across as part of my docker-compose.yml and when I run the sql dump from within the docker container I get
Directory lookup for the file
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\mydatabase.mdf"
failed with the operating system error 2(The system cannot find the file specified.).
the part of the script that's causing the above is...
CREATE DATABASE [mydatabase]
CONTAINMENT = NONE
ON PRIMARY
( NAME = N'mydatabase', FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\mydatabase.mdf' , SIZE = 8192KB , MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH = 65536KB )
LOG ON
( NAME = N'mydatabase_log', FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\mydatabase_log.ldf' , SIZE = 8192KB , MAXSIZE = 2048GB , FILEGROWTH = 65536KB )
WITH CATALOG_COLLATION = DATABASE_DEFAULT
GO
If I go through the same generation process from an azure hosted database the create code generated is...
CREATE DATABASE [mydatabase]
GO
and if I manually run the above from within the container, it creates as expected.
So what do I need to do to generate an SQL schema dump that doesn't include the FILENAME property of the create command?

Answer 1

Following #Jeroen Mostert's suggestion I generate the scripts without the CREATE DATABASE part, this is done by selecting "specific database objects" instead of "entire database and all database objects"
I then run a script I manually wrote that creates all the required databases, followed by running the scripts that create the tables and procedures against each database.
docker-compose.yml
version: "3.8"
services:
db:
image: mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2019-latest
environment:
- ACCEPT_EULA=true
- SA_PASSWORD=localdevpassword#123
volumes:
- ./sql:/scripts/
ports:
- "1434:1433"
command: /bin/bash -c /scripts/init.sh
init.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo "Starting SQL server"
/opt/mssql/bin/sqlservr &
echo "Sleeping for 10 seconds"
sleep 10
echo "Done sleeping, run the SQL scripts"
cd /scripts/
echo "Creating databases using file databases.sql"
/opt/mssql-tools/bin/sqlcmd -U sa -P $SA_PASSWORD -l 30 -e -i databases.sql
for FILENAME in *.sql; do
DATABASE="${FILENAME%.*}"
if [ "$DATABASE" != "databases" ]; then
echo "Running import for $DATABASE using file $FILENAME"
/opt/mssql-tools/bin/sqlcmd -U sa -P $SA_PASSWORD -d $DATABASE -l 30 -e -i $FILENAME
fi
done
echo "SQL scripts run, sleep forever to keep container running"
sleep infinity
