SQL Database Projects installs statistics

SQL Database Projects extension

Database source control where objects are stored as code, integrating with build-time validation and dynamically calculated deployments for database DevOps. Cross-platform and compatible with Visual Studio SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) for SQL Server, Azure SQL, and Fabric SQL.

Overview

SQL Database Projects for Visual Studio Code provides a way to design, edit, and publish objects to SQL databases from a source controlled project. For a complete development workflow, build and deploy your database projects in CI/CD pipelines, such as GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps.

📕 Learn more about SQL Database Projects in the documentation: https://aka.ms/sqlprojects

Requirements

The extension will prompt to install the .NET SDK if it is not found, as it is required to build SQL projects. You can also install the .NET SDK manually from here for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Quick start

1. Create a new database project by going to the Database Projects view or by searching for Database Projects: New in the command palette. 2. Add .sql files to the project to define database objects. For example, creating a file Product.sql in the SQL project folder to add a table named Product:

3. Build the SQL project to validate the SQL syntax and object references. In the Database Projects view, right-click the database project's root node and select Build. 4. Building the project created a .dacpac file in the output folder. This file contains the schema of the database project and can be deployed to a SQL Server or Azure SQL instance.

Settings

General Settings

• sqlDatabaseProjects.dotnetSDK Location: The path to the folder containing the dotnet folder for the .NET SDK. If not set, the extension will attempt to find the .NET SDK on the system. • sqlDatabaseProjects.microsoftBuildSqlVersion: Version of Microsoft.Build.Sql to use for SQL projects. Controls the SDK version referenced in newly created SDK-style project templates and the binaries used when building non-SDK-style SQL projects. If not set, the extension will use Microsoft.Build.Sql 2.2.0. • sqlDatabaseProjects.netCoreDoNotAsk: When true, no longer prompts to install .NET SDK when a supported installation is not found. • sqlDatabaseProjects.collapseProjectNodes: Option to set the default state of the project nodes in the database projects view to collapsed. If not set, the extension will default to expanded.

Telemetry

This extension collects telemetry data, which is used to help understand how to improve the product. For example, this usage data helps to debug issues, such as slow start-up times, and to prioritize new features. While we appreciate the insights this data provides, we also know that not everyone wants to send usage data. You can disable telemetry as described in the Visual Studio Code telemetry documentation.
