Tools for Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition
The “DataDude” team is happy to announce the availability of the Power Tools for Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition.
The Power Tools for 2008 contains all the functionality we shipped in 2005 plus:
· Command line SQL Static Code Analysis execution through MSBuild, this was the biggest customer request, which is why I was holding the release. This enables SQL Static Code Analysis to be part of Team Build!
· Data Generation Wizard; this is another customer request where we allow them to create a new data generation plan by pointing at an existing database, the plan will be fully configured by the wizard to pull all data from the database. This way users can use an existing data set and only override the privacy concerned data and save about half a day or more of configuration
· File based data generator; this allows you to insert the content of files in to the database (works for string and binary, not for XML yet)
· XML based data generator; this allows you to generate XML based on an XSD (the XSD has to be provided as file right now, and cannot be selected from database or inherited from the data type)
· Refactoring Command Generator has been made available as a MSBuild task for better project build integration so it can be made part of the pre-build and pre-deployment stages in the project. This allows users to automated the results of refactoring to some degree in to the project.
