Database Code Management with VS 2017 and RedGate Rushabh Mehta Founder & President, Matchbook Services @Rushabhmehta When doing agile development, whether you have 1 production target database or in case of a SaaS solution, multiple targets, database change management becomes extremely crucial. One of the challenges with traditional SSDT projects are that they work on the "as-is" model through the development cycle and obfuscate the details of how actual changes would be applied. In this session, we will look at how to use the RedGate tools now available inside Visual Studio 2017 to manage the development process and gain better control over your deployments. This session will cover my experiences, tips and tricks with managing a Cloud SaaS solution and we will look at how Visual Studio 2017 and the RedGate family of tools provide tremendous value and higher confidence with our product releases.

ReadyRoll vs SSDT VS 2017 still supports SSDT ReadyRoll is an alternative to SSDT SSDT is A powerful database development environment within VS State-base approach Key Differences with ReadyRoll Migration-based approach More control by developers over the end database deployment scripts ReadyRoll Core only available in Enterprise We like to think of ReadyRoll as an alternative to SSDT database projects that allows developers to have more control over the end database deployment script. Whether you use a ReadyRoll project or SSDT project is up to you and will depend on your needs. Even when you’re using a ReadyRoll project, you can still use SSDT features such as the Table Designer and the ability to View and Edit data. With SSDT database projects, you are given a list of ingredients and a picture of what the end cake will look like; the beginning and end state. How you get there is derived. With ReadyRoll Core, you are given the recipe telling you what to do each step of the way to turn the ingredients into a cake.   https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ssdt/2017/03/10/sql-server-data-tools-17-0-rc-and-ssdt-in-vs2017/ The 1st EVER #SQLSatLA

RedGate ReadyRoll Develop Side-by-side comparison Source Control Deployment Migration based approach Developers can modify migration scripts Managing your database changes and incorporating them into your DevOps pipeline has always been difficult. Keeping track of what scripts need to be run and managing database states is often painful and error-prone. ReadyRoll Core simplifies this process by turning changes to your database schema into database migration scripts. These migration scripts can then be checked into source control and deployed to your other databases. When you’re working in a ReadyRoll project and make changes to your development database using Visual Studio, SQL Server Management Studio, or another tool of choice, ReadyRoll Core will list the changes you’ve made and show you the differences. Developers can modify migration scripts to gain more precise control over how changes are applied The 1st EVER #SQLSatLA
