I have a Visual Studio 2010 Database project, from which I want to generate a script
that simply puts up this database to another machine. The problem is that i can’t find a
solution for this.

As I started the project, I imported the shema from a database on my development pc.
The Schema Objects were generated and all tables and scripts where under ‘Schema Objects -> Schemas -> dbo’. Over the time, some things changed, some where added. And by using right-click -> deploy,
the changes were made to my local database successfully.

But now I want to deploy to another machine. The problem is, that in the release folder of the project, there is only a xml dbschema file containing all tables and scripts that i can’t import
with sql management studio (or i just can’t find out how) and the a deployment script which is nothing more than some checks followed by the pre- and post- deployment script, but without any tables or scripts in it.

So please, how do i export the database from Visual Studio, so i can easily put it up on another machine?

    Is it’s possible to point your Visual Studio to your new target database? 1. Properties of your Database project, Deploy tab, set the fields in Target Database Settings.

    Now when you generate a deploy script, the resulting SQL file will be the various CREATe / ALTER / DROP etc that will align the target database with your schema.
