The build process for my SQL 2008 Database Project takes upwards of 15 minutes for 1 build. I only need to manage roughly 50 stored procedures. I created a database project and a server project.
Next thing I do is fix all the build errors. Now I modify a stored procedure. Then I have to build the entire database and script the entire database just to see if my stored procedure compiles.
Is there any way to test the stored procedure without going through a 15 minute build – then deploy the script? Can I build just changes instead of the entire DB?
I decided to go with MSSCCI. It’s simple UI which plugs directly into SSMS and behaves like Team Explorer is exactly what I’ve been searching for. Getting started.
