Does anyone know how to create an entire database from a visual studio database project? Rather then running logs of smaller scripts individually.
Thanks

In VS express you do the following- It should be similar in the other versions but I don’t have them in front of me.
Open Database Explorer (Ctrl-Alt-S)
Right Click “Data Connections” > “Add Connection”
Set ‘Data Source’ To Microsoft SQL Server Database File
Enter a name for your new Database
Choose your authentication method
It should confirm the creation of the database from there…
In Database Explorer Expand your Database and right click tables > Add new table and so on
It looks like I completely misunderstood the question. If you are trying to generate a script from an existing project for export the Database publishing wizard may do what you need.
