I have a massive insertion operation on a number of tables for a base-line database. I was trying to organize this task in multiple SQL scripts for individuals tables and dependent tables. I need to call the scripts in a sequence from the main post deployment SQL script.
Any ideas?
If there isn’t already a post-deployment script in your project (possibly called Script.PostDeployment.sql) then add a new item of type SQL Server > User Scripts > Post-Deployment Script.
In this script, reference your insert scripts using a relative path like below. The scripts will be run in the order you list them. Example:
(Ignore any errors/warnings that say this is invalid syntax. Visual Studio treats these like placeholders and at build-time the contents of each script will essentially be inserted into the main SQL file.)
