Another great video Tim. I just wanted to share that I wrote a program for work using Entity Framework. It was great. Entity Framework set up my Microsoft SQL database (the more coding I do, the more I appreciate Microsoft, they really are doing great things) and as long as I played according to EF rules I was was golden. I decided to rewrite my program for MySQL. Exact same program, only this time no hint of DB Context in my code (yes I know, it is still there behind the scenes :) ). The Visual Studio file without EF (identical programs remember) was six times smaller! Both programs do exactly the same thing!

@Mark Botirius, Glad you got it all working and as you say, the MySQL version was 6 times smaller, in a previous role I found this too, and when our DBA looked at the SQL code that EF generated he was horrified how poor it actually was. I would recommend that you look into Dapper - and check out some of the videos on Tims' site on using it. Yes you can then use it for both MSSQL and MySQL - not two programs either!... Give yourself some homework to make a 3rd application that will do both databases via dapper. :)

Because you know how to teach complex things in a simple manner, a lot of developers like me could benefit from your team experience. What I means is: there are thousands of developers who are good at what they do - develop code - but with no experience with team tools/team management. And those skill are a must when you are " entrepeneuring" ou "solopreneuring", which is pretty common this days and should be more and more regular in a foreseable future. Thank you.

Deploying on a customer DB is the trick, since they will need SQL Server installed. You would need to set up a publish script to push to each SQL Server unless you could point each customer at a central SQL Server.

Do you mind doing a more in-depth tutorial to share your best practices, pipelines (in azure devops) and workflows to manage, collaborate (e.g. on github), potentially handle huge schema changes (e.g. translating data from old tables to new tables, and mapping the right web app ver to the right db ver) and push changes (e.g. schemas and stored procedures changes) to the development, staging and production environment?

Tim, Thanks for the great video. It has helped me understand localdb much better. I still have 2 questions. 1. If I publish my project and copy the executable to a new computer, will it create the databases automatically the first time it runs? 2.

Hi Tim, there is one thing I am not sure I get correctly.. Can I for example create a codebook sql table in this LocalDB and deploy it on IIS Folder with my API project, so the API will not depend on real SQL Server that might be sometimes unavailable, but will read the codebook value from this localDB server instance, that will be deployed in the same folder as the API project?

@IAmTimCorey Hi! I just want to ask you a question. I have a PC with Win10 and Visual Studio 2019 on it. I created the SQLproject as you did but when I try to create the Person table, I receive this error message: 'Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.BatchParser.dll' or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be found.' What is the problem? What can I do? Please help me! Thank you in advance! Sorry for my English.

There are many professional people who specialize in the Database business, never writing application code. Some of their work is done manually (analyzing business data, stages of normalization, designing tables and other db objects, etc.). Each db system has software to help manage it (eg. SSMS for Microsoft SQL Server). There are many add-ins and plug-ins to "improve" SSMS in various ways. This new VS "SQL Server Database Project" aims at a small part of what's done in SSMS. For those in small companies (or for personal projects) who already utilize Visual Studio, this project type provides great tools to make it easier to generate and maintain a database. Tim says some of these are "golden". Were these improvements also made directly in SSMS? Are there clues about the future?

@IAmTimCorey

SSDT isn't necessarily a new tool. It has been around for a bit. The difference between SSMS and SSDT is that SSMS is about management, where SSDT is about development. SSDT provides the tools to build a database (refactoring, source control, etc.) that are really beneficial to the development process. SSDT can be really useful for any size application and company, even if you are dedicated to building databases only. It does not replace SSMS, it just approaches a different part of the problem.

The Database DevOps from Start to Finish course ( www.iamtimcorey.com/p/database-devops-from-start-to-finish/ ) shows you how to build a database with this, deploy it, bring in an existing database, and even work with external changes. The Application Lifecycle Design course ( www.iamtimcorey.com/p/application-lifecycle-design/ ) covers using Azure DevOps to deploy this automatically to an Azure SQL database (although the principle applies to even local databases). It also covers deploying web apps, creating different versions (development, staging, and production), and how to put all of this under source control. On KZread, I am using this in my TimCo Retail Manager series to handle all of the database work.

Question for you, Tim... What if you have several db instances. What is the best practice to deploy the latest schema changes to all instances? I tried creating a publish.xml file with multiple property groups (one for each db instance) but that did not work. I was thinking of writing code that would automate via command line and generate .publish.xml files for each db, and then deploy to each sequentially. Any advice, or a known method for doing this?

Tim, thanks for all your videos they're great. Im using them to get up to date with all the latest additions in the past 8 years Ive been away from c#. I have one question though, it seems like in all your videos you name the table names singlular when Ive always made them plural and in other languages it's either recommended or forced to make them plural so certain apis work seemlessly with them. Is there a specific reason you name them singular? I always looked at it like a table is called "Users" because it holds many users, but the model class is singular "User.cs" because it only represents one instance or row from that table, just wondering if there was any particular reason you do that, thanks again

@IAmTimCorey

4 жыл бұрын

Good question. That naming convention is much more ambiguous. I lean towards singular because when you query a table, you say things like User.FirstName to represent a user's first name rather than Users.FirstName. However, I've worked on projects that do it the other way and that's fine.

Hi Tim. Great video. So I have a Post Script question. Lets say I do a release on Monday and I have some post scripts where I add Frank to the User table. Then Wednesday I'm gonna do another release where I'm gonna add some Addresses to the Address table. Given the fact I'm gonna keep running the post script file on every release it means all my scripts need to do some type of check so it does not add from the previous script. Like you did in your example from the video where you did an exists check before adding the Demo user. So my question is there a way so that on every release I don't have to run the previous post scripts? Each release just runs whatever is new for this release. I don't want to keep running the previous post scripts. Thanks!

Not natively, no. You could create a version table and based upon the current version, you would run the post scripts after that version.

Hi Tim, I have reached the point of linking the foreign key and the ID key. But every time I publish it the value for Address.PersonID will return to allowing nulls because it says there is no data present so allowing it will cause data loss

Hello Tim is the Post Publish Script the only way to alter a Table after it has been created and already has data stored in it? I'm trying to add a column I forgot about but I can no longer publish. I just went ahead and deleted the table and created it again because I only had 2 rows, but in the future when there is significant data stored that wouldn't be a good idea.

@IAmTimCorey

You can do a Pre-Deploy script as well, in case you need to clean things up before you add a column or delete a column. If you attempt to do something that will cause data loss, the system won't do it automatically without you explicitly forcing it (it is a safety measure). You can get the script that it created for the update and modify it to force the update, then run the script.

Great content. Thanks. This is a very nice way of saving our Database schema and deploy to different instances, and versions of databases. I noticed when I created a post deployment script, the id of Demo User was 1002 instead of the next available int which was 4. I am not sure what I did wrong. I am concerned about it since the max rows value is set to 1000.

Nothing wrong. When SQL restarts, it skips a set up IDs so it doesn't step on the toes of previous transactions. As for the max value of 1000, I don't think that is what you have set. If so, you wouldn't get a value of 1002.
