#SqlPackage
I was asked to automatically script tables as INSERTs so we could check them in.

Surely it’s easy…
1. mssql-scripter - dead,”use SSMS”. :(
2. Sqlpackage extract - tabledata doesn’t seem to work, if it did maybe generate parquet?

Phil Factor (RIP) to the rescue with a script from 2012. #sqlserver

Thanks! 1 and 3 are practically difficult and 2 is a hallucination. Re:1 I found some old SOs but really unsure whether still valid and how it might integrate into sqlpackage

.... sorry really late seeing this. Which SqlPackage install is it removing? (msi, zip, or dotnet tool?)

For the SQL server, a script/run block can call sqlpackage directly. The azuredacpac deploy task requires the azure subscription and I believe won’t even deploy to a sql server vm in azure (on the list of things to fix asap)

If you do a dacpac deployment (which you get after building a database project in VS), sqlpackage will do a schema compare against the target and deploy changes.

Curious how #sqlfamily is doing Ci/CD. I’ve checked our DDL into GitHub. How do I get from dev to prod? If I change a table and add a permission, what scripts out the changes from my dev DB? Redgate? Sqlpackage? VS Db Proj? Is there a Best Practice/Guide somewhere? #sqlserver

Postgres doesn’t have a sqlpackage tool because Postgres folks are used to working with migrations based deployment approaches. Many of us find it superior and a better approach. People tend to be biased based on what they are used to. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Any Data folk been able to get sqlpackage installed on a VMSS Azure DevOps Build Agent?

Sysprep removes the installation when generating an image.

Needs to be available for the SqlAzureDacpacDeployment@1 task to use.

Hi all, since got asked about this yesterday just want to highlight that this repo to perform CI/CD for #MicrosoftFabric Data Warehouses using and #AzureDevOps highlights fact that you should install SQLPackage first if using a #Microsoft hosted agent.

Published yesterday. Covers CI/CD for Microsoft Fabric Data Warehouses using #AzureDevOps.

Which can now be done gracefully with the new target platform thanks to a new SqlPackage update. With one caveat which I cover in post. #Azure #MicrosoftFabric
