如何在 Visual Studio 中设置 SQL 数据库项目中的数据库连接字符串？

Question

How to have database connection string in the SQL database project set up in the Visual Studio?

Database project has stored procedures, functions etc.

When we keep the syntax

use mydatabase
go

inside the stored procedure, build is throwing error.

When I remove the statement use mydatabase , there is no build error.

At present, we don't have a connection string or config file for the SQL database project. My clarification is, whether having the connection string will allow the use syntax?

Note: I am using Visual Studio 2017

Answer 1

You cannot add a USE statement inside a stored procedure or function, even in SQL Server Management Studio.

If mydatabase is the current database project then you don't need it since it is meaningless.

Workarounds :

1. Add the database name before the objects names:

    SELECT * FROM [database name].[schema name].[table name]

2. Execute queries inside batches:

    EXEC('Use mydatabase; SELECT * from [schema name].[table name]')
