Deployment Contributor Sample: LiteScript

  • Artigo

In Visual Studio 2010 we have enabled a number of new extensibility points as detailed in my earlier post. In this post we will take a look at creating a deployment contributor. This deployment contributor is a deployment executor.

Essentially what the sample contributor does is walks through the deployment plan and creates an additional deployment script with a _lite.sql extension that already has the SQLCMD variables preprocessed and contains only the body of the deployment script. This can be handy if integrating deployment scripts into other processes or APIs where SQLCMD is not support or statement execution is limited to only the immediate database. For example, you internet hosting service only allows you to submit a SQL script through their deployment tool and the script can only execute in the context of your user database. This additional _lite.sql script is not executed against the target. It is simply produced in addition to the original deployment script.

The following is the implementation of our Lite Script Deployment Plan Executor. You may want to customize this adding or removing additional deployment steps from the new _lite.sql script. To use the sample, download the sample from my SkyDrive and build it. You will then need to register the extension as you do the other samples on MSDN. This sample is already keyed using the key in the project. Simply build the project and move LiteScriptContributor.dll, LiteScriptContributor.pdb, and LiteScriptContributor.Extensions.xml to your %Program Files%\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VSTSDB\Extensions\ directory. The next time you load Visual Studio 2010 the contributor will load and start producing the additional script when deployed.

Special thanks to Jamie Laflen for providing the sample SQL Managed Batch Parser Wrapper.

Here is what that looks like in the output window when deploying your project:

------ Build started: Project: MyDatabase, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------

    Loading project files...

    Building the project model and resolving object interdependencies...

    Validating the project model...

    Writing model to MyDatabase.dbschema...

  MyDatabase -> C:\Work\Demo\MyDatabase\MyDatabase\sql\debug\MyDatabase.dbschema

------ Deploy started: Project: MyDatabase, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------

    Lite Deployment SqlCmd substituted script generated to:

C:\Work\Demo\MyDatabase\MyDatabase\sql\debug\MyDatabase_lite.sql

    Deployment script generated to:

C:\Work\Demo\MyDatabase\MyDatabase\sql\debug\MyDatabase.sql

    The deployment script was generated, but was not deployed. You can change the deploy action on the Deploy tab of the project properties.

    Many thanks for this article. I think this extension will be very usable. It would be great to have such function as a standard option  on the Deploy tab of db project in VS ...
