Microsoft sitesinde yayınlana tüm özellik listesi ise şöyle :
SQL Server Support
- SQL Server 2008
- All new data types:
- Intrinsic (date, datetime2, datetimeoffset, time)
- Built-in SQL CLR types (geography, geometry, hierarchyid)
- New DML
- Merge, table parameters, …
- SQL Server Configuration Options
- Server option settings will be verified prior to deployment or set during deployment
Additional 1st Class Object Type Support
- Rules, defaults, Asymmetric keys, symmetric keys, certificates, …
Projects
- Server Projects
- Server objects and option settings may be implemented in a separate Server Project
- This enables a team to define a standard a configuration for their SQL servers and reference it from their Database Projects
- Partial projects
- Allowing code sharing between projects by including files from a different project, where the code is included as-is from the originating project and the source code control ownership remains with the originating project
- This enables code reuse and single sourcing while having a single deployment unit
- Composite projects
- References to other database projects or .dbschema files that contribute to the same deployment unit.
- This enables the separation of development roles and responsibilities and composition of Databases using multiple projects.
Single sourcing of external artifacts
- SQL-CLR references allow the user to create a reference to a SQL-CLR project or SQL-CLR assembly. This automatically becomes an ASSEMBLY type in the Database Project
Build and Deploy
- The Build process now produces a separate portable schema output that is fed in to a redistributable deployment engine
- A redistributable deployment engine. For example, to implement a setup application that deploys the Database Project.
Refactoring
- Preservation of Intent
- Enables the deployment of refactoring changes as intended by the user (renames are deployed as renames not as drop/add statements for example)
New Refactoring Operations
- Wildcard Expansion
- Move Schema
- Fully Qualify
- Extensibility point which enables the ability to develop and deploy custom refactoring types and targets
Schema Compare
- Now supports comparing Projects, Databases or dbschema files in any combination. For example, Project to Project, which has not been possible until now.
- Object Type Filtering
- Additional ignore filtering options
T-SQL Static Code Analysis
- Including the ability to develop and deploy custom rules
Dependency Viewer
- View the dependency relationship between objects in your schema
Unit testing
- Supports execution with other ADO.NET providers
Data Generation
- Design-time enhancements
- Smaller .dgen file
- Support for undo/redo
- Foreign key replacement
- Separation of population status into new display window
- Runtime enhancements
- By default uses SqlBulkCopy to populate target tables
- Capability to register different outputs for generated data – i.e. generate to Excel or to file so you can use BCP to load
- By registering a custom output we have the capability to execute scripts at different points during data generation (i.e. before start/after completion or before/after a table
Extensibility
- Data Generators
- Statistical Data Distribution
- Test Conditions
- Static Code Analysis Rules
- Refactoring Types
- Refactoring Target
