如何将我的Microsoft SQL Database_Diagram存储在SSDT项目中？

Question

I'm using microsoft SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), in my projects to try to keep everything in order. I was wondering if anyone know how to store the Database Diagram into SSDT Project, in order to don't lose any work and keep this model updated with my team?

I tryed to compare it using schema, but it didn't exists. I also couldn't find any Database Diagram in Visual studio 2013.

Am I wrong to try to use this model type? Are there better ways to do it? Also, Is it possible to create Jobs throught SSDT?

Thank you very much,

The database diagrams are stored in internal tables so you could add their definitions and include the data in a post deploy script but you would end up deploying to all your environments which is unusual (I don't know your circumstance so I won't say wrong!).

Unless you particularly needed the diagrams in ssms I would look to something else, redgate have a database diagramming tool, I prefer to keep a copy of Visio 2010 pro to generate them, the vsd files can then be added to the project and shared between the team.

I assume it is to help document your databases but If you wanted the editing and designer support from diagrams you get that other ways with ssdt.

Re: jobs, there is no native object but you can create them in pre/post deploy scripts.
