Visual Studio Team Edition for DB Pros CTP6 is now available. Check out Cameron's post for the full details. Here is an excerpt of what's new since CTP5:
- Full SQL Server 2000 & 2005 object support
- Extended Properties Support
- Inline constraint support
- Pre and Post script deployment population during Import Script
- Team Build Support
- Import Schema Wizard ( also integrated with the New Project Wizard )
- The ability to synchronize your project from a database ( selective import essentially, based on differences. We heard your feedback! )
- Refactoring is allowed in files that are in a warning state
- Overall stability and performance
- Fixed many customer reported problems
- Support for 3 and 4 part name resolution when referenced database is present on design instance
- No longer install SQL Express ( you'll notice the download is a LOT smaller! ). You can pick your own SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition or SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition instance on the local box
- Display detailed Schema Object properties in the property window for selected objects in the Schema View
- Separation of user target database settings through the user project file
Having support for Team Build should be a definite plus when it comes to versioning a database with an application release. I look forward to playing around with that feature.
