Database - SQL Server
Version control - GIT/Bit bucket
Automation - Jenkins pipeline.
Question/task - I need to build SQL database project & deploy thru jenkins pipeline.
Currently we manually build & publish the database but I have scripts which I can use to build(dacpac) & publish to the database but problem scripts only work in VS(visual studio) command prompt.
Build SQL database project thru Jenkins - Is it possible, if so how?
Publish SQL database project thru Jenkins - Is it possible, if so how?
Please help me understand the process involved.
I used the DacFx API provided by Microsoft and created an API service that I integrated with jerkins. In the middle of the pipeline, I passed the SqlProject location, my target database information, and dacpac destination. The API uses Publish Method to Deploy and generate the delta and deploy it to the target database.

I have a DB project in Visual Studio and I need to deploy it to a remote system as a pre-packaged script (or similar) as a new database.
The Publish option will generate a .publish SQL script but only if you supply a connection first, and the script includes machine-local information e.g. logging paths.
I want something I can copy onto the DB-server machine running SSMS and it will create the DB. What is the proper way to do this, I see I also have DAC and DLL files emitted during build.
What is the proper way to do this?
Connect to a server that doesn't have any version of your database, and publish. Publish calculates an incremental deployment, so it needs to see the current state of the target SQL Server.
I have a database project with some important SQL-scripts. I want to deploy and run the scripts as part of the build pipeline, because they have a tendency to fail because of human error.
I've tried to find a way to add "deployment group job" to my build pipeline, but I'm not seeing how this can be done.
I'm using Azure Devops with Git. My servers are all on-premise.
I have a build and release pipeline which is working fine.
If you want to deploy and run the SQL scripts against all your servers. You need to create a deployment group and Register all your servers in it. Then add "deployment group job" in your release pipeline.
Select the deployment group you created in the configuration page. You can then add script tasks(eg. powershell task) to execute your SQL scripts (The SQL scripts should be included in the build artifacts).
When you run the release pipeline, and the tasks of deployment job will run the sql scripts on all your servers registered in the deployment group.
If you just want to run the sql scripts on a single database server in your build pipeline, you can simply create a self-hosted agent on the database server machine. And run your build pipeline on the self-hosted agent. The scripts in your pipeline will be able to access to your local database server, since they are on the same machine.
Hope above helps!
Deployment group job is not supported in build pipeline, you need to do it in release pipeline.
I am creating SSIS package and planning to use ADF to run it.
I am using Azure Data Lake Gen1 as File Store.
And as per our process once a file load completed we will move the file from one directory to another into Data Lake.
But not able to find anything in SSIS to do it. Anyone have any idea about it.
Your help is highly appreciated.
As you said in comment, you will deploy the SSIS package in ADF using (Configure SSIS Integration).
You can reference this document to Provision the Azure-SSIS Integration Runtime in Azure Data Factory.
This tutorial provides steps for using the Azure portal to provision an Azure-SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Integration Runtime (IR) in Azure Data Factory (ADF). Azure-SSIS IR supports running packages deployed into SSIS catalog (SSISDB) hosted by Azure SQL Database server/Managed Instance (Project Deployment Model) and those deployed into file systems/file shares/Azure Files (Package Deployment Model). Once Azure-SSIS IR is provisioned, you can then use familiar tools, such as SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT)/SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), and command line utilities, such as dtinstall/dtutil/dtexec, to deploy and run your packages in Azure.
Create an Azure-SSIS integration runtime
Provision an Azure-SSIS integration runtime
Deploy SSIS packages
After you have created and configured the Azure-SSIS integration runtime, about how to run your SSIS package in Data Factory, Data Factory also give us so many ways:
Execute SSIS packages in Azure from SSDT
Run an SSIS package with the Execute SSIS Package activity in Azure
Data Factory
Run an SSIS package with the Stored Procedure activity in Azure Data
Factory
Just choose the one which you like.
Hope this helps.
We have recently migrated to using the Visual Studio database projects. What we want to do is for the database to deploy when the TFS build server builds.
This is relatively simple and we have this working for a single database, however, what we need is for it to deploy to multiple database as we have a SaaS product with multiple databases. So for example, when we do a QA build, all the different databases with various configurations on the QA DB server should be updated.
Is there a 'proper' way to do this?
Our current plan is to take the deployment .sql script that will be generated from the database configured for deployment, then create a custom build task which runs this script against the rest of the databases.
I don't think there is a standard way of doing this, so we created a custom build task that iterates over the databases we want to deploy to executing the deployment script generated by the standard database project's deploy against each DB.
We have a system consisting of a winforms client, a bunch of web services, a bunch of reporting services reports and a database with a corresponding database project in VS 2010.
We use TFS as source control system and for automatic builds etc.
When our tester queues a new build from within the Build Explorer, our client and server is build and the server is deployed to the web server. Reports and database changes are not deployed automatically.
Is it possible to have the changes from the database project deployed automatically to the test database whenever a new test build is queued?
Yes.
Your build template can invoke VSDBCMD.exe to do a comparison between your database project (.dbschema) and your test database in order to generate and execute a script that will update your test database.
Here is info about VSDBCMD.
Here is the procedure to setup your build template to use VSDBCMD.
