I have an MS-SQL database on the server and decided to play around with the source code for the database. I want to create a database project and include this project in my solution. Is there a way to “import” an existing database into a database project in Visual Studio 2008?
I had a few searches, but I haven't found anything yet. Any ideas would be welcome!
thanks
Yes. If you have Visual Studio 2008 Team System, then adding to the GDR Release 2 Database Edition is the way to go.
You can download here: Microsoft® Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition GDR R2
You can find a list of features here .
Also, Introducing New Features in the GST Version of VSTS Database
Refresh . In response to a poster comment that you do not have a Team System version, you can still use the original database project that comes with Visual Studio, but it is not as fully presented as the new GDR R2.
