VSTE DB Service Release 1 is out

Service Release 1 (SR1) update for Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Database Professionals is available for download today.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936612/

The following issues are corrected in SR1. These issues have been found through customer and partner feedback.• Cross-database references

Support is improved so that you can reference objects within different databases by using database project references or by referencing a database metafile (.dbmeta). This support reduces or eliminates the cross-database reference warnings within a database project.
• Improved file support within SQL Server file groups

You can define files within file groups as database project properties instead of having to create files and file groups within the pre-deployment storage script.
• Variables

A Variables page is added to the database properties. This new page enables you to define setvar variables for use in the deployment scripts.
Additionally, SR1 supports the latest service pack release from Microsoft SQL Server 2005. Currently, the latest service pack is Service Pack 2 (SP2). SR1 also supports the Windows Vista operating system.

Database Refactoring in VSTE for Database Professionals

During my last session at Sofia.NET User Group, I talked about one book that describes many database refactoring patterns. The book is named Refactoring Databases - Evolutionary Database Design by Scott W. Ambler and Pramod Sadalage.
It is unfortunate the Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals handles only renaming objects which is about 5% of the described patterns in the book. I had a lot of problems presenting this small percentage also, so I will try to put another post of how you can successfully use rename refactoring in VSTE for Database Professionals.

Data Dude is out

On my session at FMI last Sunday, I told many people that I won’t believe that Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals will be released soon even though it was CTP7 at that time. I saw so many problems in that release that it seemed unnatural for me to be released so soon. However, back to the news, Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals, aka the Data Dude, is out at MSDN Subscriber Downloads. Go, go, go!
