In the SO podcast episode 54 Jeff talked about using Visual Studio to save all the database objects to individual files. This sounded like just what my team needed to better implement database schema changes into TFS and I told my lead about it. He thinks it’s a great idea to.

Unfortunately, so far I’ve had no luck getting this to work for me. One of my problems is that I don’t have SQL Server installed on my local box (dept policy). I’m obviously doing something wrong.

Can someone give me a rundown of the steps or provide a decent link?

Thanks!

    3) Next, Script to file, Next, Types of data to publish should be Schema (unless you need some initial data), finish.
    4) Add script to the project and check into source control.
