The August 3, 2010 meeting
of the SQL Servers Innovator’s Guild will present ’Visual Studio 2010 Database Projects: Top 7 features to make database development a breeze!’
In this session Rafael explains how you can use Visual Studio database projects (aka data dude) to have better control over your database schema and reduce the risk and complexity related to the database development cycle. He will talk about the pros and cons he has experienced when using the tool in his projects and will highlight improvements made since the last version. This is a demo packed session where you will learn about schema versioning, testing, refactoring, deployment and more.
Most the content of this session remains relevant to the previous version of the tool- VSDB 2008 GDR2 – and, no, you don’t need prior knowledge of Visual Studio to get the most out of this presentation!
