Good to know. Is it only accepted submissions, or anything submitted that remains unchanged? (I think it’s possible to go back to unsuccessful submissions)

Work hard on your SQL kids, and one day you too can miss a condition in a where clause and do the world a favour by disabling Twitter for a short while!

Yeah, I appreciate that many of the approaches to verifying age are scary from a privacy POV (photos/official docs/etc.), but I do appreciate the effort to prevent young people from being sucked into a dark place.

Brave to play without a keeper, but when you haven’t faced a shot on target in 2 games I guess you can flex a bit

Apparently it is a rule in the PL that a player can’t use a towel to dry the ball. No idea why, but I read about it before the game

I guess it might also be possible to just make it into a project variable? And then pass the SHA/PR value in your deploy task?

Can record in either a table (for a complete history/lineage) or just to an extended property (for latest/current version).
We’ve done something vaguely similar for a different purpose, so I can help if I haven’t explained it well enough.

It may be a little bit tricky, but if you have a script in your database project which then builds as part of your build pipeline, and you can modify that script to have the SHA/PR included in a subsequent step, then just have it executed in the post-deploy step of the dacpac

How do you determine the version number of the deployment?
You could always create an extended property that stores the version number, and auto updates/increments as part of the post deployment script in the dacpac?
