Open the windows command prompt (cmd.exe).(Here's a little writeup I did on that surprise.) Luckily, the replacement sqlpackage.exe looked to have the functionality I needed. In Visual Studio 201o the executable was vsdbcmd.exe. The first hurdle? As of Visual Studio 2012 vsdbcmd.exe no longer exists. The dbschema would be generated (ignoring any errors from the source database) and could then be set up as a database reference in the project and all the unresolved references for that database would be magically cleaned up. dbschema file for the database named in the three part name using a command line executable. Basically, SSDT is telling you it can't build this script because it is referencing an object which doesn't exist in the project.Īs a quick way to resolve this type of problem I decided to try a trick I had used back with visual studio 2010 where I would generate a.

Perform a schema compare using a copy of production as the source and a the existing project as the target.You think to yourself: "Within a few minutes I'll have the project up and running and I can move on to phase 2 of my plan to save database land from all that is evil." You quickly run through the following steps: Alright! You are the hero of your database team! You've received the okay to start using SQL Server Data Tools to manage one of your existing databases.
