Question

So I’ve run into a somewhat maddening bug (perhaps) with Visual Studio database projects, specifically in 2010 Ultimate.

Basically, let’s say I have two .schema.sql files, like so:

File 1

CREATE SCHEMA [Test]
GO

File2

CREATE SCHEMA [AuditTest]
GO

This compiles down and is deployed as:

PRINT N'Creating [AuditTest]...';


GO
CREATE SCHEMA [AuditTest]
    AUTHORIZATION [dbo];


GO
PRINT N'Creating [test]...';


GO
CREATE SCHEMA [test]
    AUTHORIZATION [dbo];

So it (seemingly arbitrarily) chose to abandon my choice of capitalization.

Why God? Why?!

Answer 1

So I’d still love to know if this is a legitimate bug, but I got the output I wanted by opting for this:

CREATE SCHEMA Test

over this

CREATE SCHEMA [Test]

for all my schemas. In case anyone else ever runs into this.
