TFS Database deploy solution

Question

We are trying to come up with a way for our SQL Dev's and DBA's to do all SQL work in MS SQL Management Studio, and work this into a build/deploy process in TFS.

I know RedGate has SQL Source Control, and that lets us keep changes in Management Studio, but how do we incorporate this into a reliable overall build/deploy release workflow?

I don't want to make our SQL team use Visual Studio, their tool of choice is MSSMS.

Looking for some serious help and pointers here, but any help is great.

Answer 1

You'll need to use the SQL Compare Pro and SQL Data Compare Pro command lines to achieve this. An example of how these might be used as part of a build process can be found here:
