VS2013 SSDT Crash On Schema Compare?
Aug 25, 2014
We are getting regular SSDT/VS crashes when doing schema compares (source: project, target: server). Sometimes the compare succeeds but around 80% of the time we get a crash.
We are using VS2013 Update 3 and the latest version of SSDT.
Application : devenv.exe
Version du Framework : v4.0.30319
Description : le processus a été arrêté en raison d'une exception non gérée.

Hey all,I am currently researching ways to compare databases via an XSD schema.I wrote a small app that creates a dataset from a database and exportsthat dataset to XSD. This gives me an XSD file with tables andrelationships representing the entire database.At this point, I am trying to find ways to compare these schemas. Doesanybody know of a way to do this easily and to record differences ifthere are any?Also, any information on comparing databases using any method would begreatly appreciated.Thanks,--Shock

I've searched quite a bit, and have found several leads on schema, stored procedure, and database contents comparison scripts and tools.
I'm now looking for recommendations on which ones are best, easiest:
ObjCompare.exe
sb_ABCompareDb.sql
sp_db_comp.sql
There's a mythical script from Andrew Z <mumble> that Mike Hotek talks about...
There's a DBCompare on the Back Office Resource Kit 2 CD, which of course is not in the umpteen MSDN CDs :-(
There's some *other* command line dbcompare, or maybe db_compare.
There's a DBA Compare.
I need to be able to compare divergent schemas from two developers to integrate their changes, so need schema and stored procedures compared only, and would also like to have something to compare staging servers and production servers.
Leads on other choices also welcome. I'd be happy to summarize and post, if warranted.

In the process of purging data to history tables,
we wanted to make sure that no schema changes have been done
to the main or the history table.
So to ensure identical schemas, we use this function:
ALTER FUNCTION dbo.fnCompareTableSchema
(
@t1Name NVARCHAR(257)
,@t2Name NVARCHAR(257)
)
RETURNS BIT
AS
/*
Compares the schema of 2 tables
If the schema is different RETURNS 0
If the schema is identical between the two table, RETURNS 1
NOTE: system tables or non-existant tables that are NOT in INFORMATION_SCHEMA views will compare equal (RETURNS 1)
==================================================================================================================
SAMPLE USAGE:
DECLARE @schemaOK BIT
SELECT @schemaOK = dbo.fnCompareTableSchema('dbo.table1','dbo.table2')
IF @schemaOK = 1
PRINT 'TABLE SCHEMA IDENTICAL'
ELSE
PRINT 'TABLE SCHEMA DIFFERENT'
==================================================================================================================
*/
BEGIN
IF @t1Name = @t2Name
RETURN 1
-- check if schema is different
IF EXISTS
(
SELECT*
FROM
(
SELECTCOLUMN_NAME, ORDINAL_POSITION, DATA_TYPE
, COLUMN_DEFAULT, IS_NULLABLE
, CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH, NUMERIC_PRECISION, NUMERIC_SCALE
, COLLATION_NAME
FROMINFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERETABLE_SCHEMA = COALESCE(PARSENAME(@t1Name,2),'dbo') AND TABLE_NAME = PARSENAME(@t1Name,1)
UNION ALL
SELECTCOLUMN_NAME, ORDINAL_POSITION, DATA_TYPE
, COLUMN_DEFAULT, IS_NULLABLE
, CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH, NUMERIC_PRECISION, NUMERIC_SCALE
, COLLATION_NAME
FROMINFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERETABLE_SCHEMA = COALESCE(PARSENAME(@t2Name,2),'dbo') AND TABLE_NAME = PARSENAME(@t2Name,1)
) U
GROUP BY
COLUMN_NAME, ORDINAL_POSITION, DATA_TYPE
HAVING COUNT(*) <> 2
)
RETURN 0
-- schema identical
RETURN 1
END

Following an upgrade to SQL Server 2012, our shop's Schema Compare tool (Redgate SQL Compare) is no longer supporting our environment.We are starting to evaluate various 3rd party products to find a possible replacement, and would be interested in what products are favored by other IT shops who do a lot of database work.
Our shop is split about 75% SQL Server, 20% Oracle, and 5% I'll call other. Ideally a product would support SQL Server and Oracle, but our focus is on SQL server right now. On that platform we have ~50 servers spread across DevUATProd environments.In basic terms, we need a tool that can identify schema differences between DBs and generate synchronization scripts to support deploys between environments. Real-time synchronization is not a requirement (nor desirable), as deploys are a gated DBA function in our shop.

Just wondering if there are any tools available for SQL Server 2005 which allow the comparison and scripting of data and schema between two databases. This is so that I can migrate between Dev, QA, and Live easily.
A free tool would be best please..
Thanks in advance.

I've downloaded and installed the latest SQL Server Data Tools for VS 2012. Is there anyway to export the results of the schema comparison into a report in CSV/Html format? I understand that it can generate the sql diff script, but I want a readable report that I can use to show to people.

I just recently updated to SSDT 12.0.50512.0 using Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate. I typically use SSDT Schema Compare to synchronize my schema across multiple databases and different environments. After updating i encountered a major bug while updating our production schema.Typically during schema compare, the compare will prompt me to drop users and user roles from the database as they are not present in the project. I will exclude these so they database users and their roles aren't affected. After the update to SSDT I noticed that schema compare was only prompting me to drop the User, but didn't show anything about the user's roles. Not thinking much of it I went through my usual task of updating all the production databases. I soon found out that this did in fact remove the user roles even though it showed NOTHING in the schema compare UI indicating it would do so.
GO
PRINT N'Dropping <unnamed>...';
GO
EXECUTE sp_droprolemember @rolename = N'db_datareader', @membername = N'dbuser';
GO
PRINT N'Dropping <unnamed>...';
GO
EXECUTE sp_droprolemember @rolename = N'db_datawriter', @membername = N'dbuser';
You could say this is partially my fault for not checking the generated script before running it, but after months of this routine task I've never had an issue until this update.i'm not seeing the changes that will happen to my user roles in the schema compare UI?

I'm trying to automate comparing the dacpacs we're generating from out builds against our production server to monitor drift.However, we use scripting variables to define cross database references. The schema compare is showing up all the objects which reference the other database via scripting variable as being different to what is on the server i.e. it reports a change between a table referenced as [$(db)].dbo.Table in the dacpac and db.dbo.Table in the target database.
When I do a comparison in Visual studio between the project and the target database the variables seem to be appropriately replaced and the differences don't show. Obviously this is using a project instead of a dacpac but I'm hoping I can get the dacpac/db compare to behave similarly to the project/db comparison.
Is there a way to define what the scripting variables should resolve to when I run the comparison via msbuild?
Edit: I would prefer not to deploy the dacpac and diff the deployed db against the target database but if that's the only way....

I've made a comparison between a database project (sqlproj) and a database.
I can't exclude some items because they are dependent items on them. So they are implicitly included in the update script.
Unfortunately when I have unchecked all the items, some of them are still implicitly included.
It seems that there are circular dependency or some thing like that.

I am importing an existing database into a Visual Studio SQL Server Database project using Schema Compare. The Schema Compare works fine and I updated my project successfully. However, the project won't build because of the existence of 3-part names in some objects:
E.g. I import the database MyDB into a new project MyDB using Schema Compare. The database contains views with queries like this:
SELECT col1, col2. col3
FROM MyDB.dbo.MyTable
When trying to build this project I get errors like:
Error 39
SQL71561: View: [dbo].[vw_MyView] has an unresolved reference to object [MyDB].[dbo].[MyTable].
C:UsersRedirectionrittg2DocumentsVisual Studio 2012ProjectsMySolutionMyDBdboViewsvw_MyView_1.sql
but of course this is a bogus message since the view can clearly read from an object in the same database whether using 2-, 3-part naming (or 4-part naming for that matter).
How can I resolve these errors without editing the objects before running Schema Compare? (there are hundreds of them).

I have created Database projects in VS 2013 using SSDT. I have been mostly successful in creating and building the projects without any errors/warnings.
However for one of the databases in the project, when i do schema compare to apply the changes from a SQL Server Database to a Database Project in VS, code changes are not applied to the database project.
After i select the Update option in Schema compare window, I'm getting the following message
"Target update complete. Press Compere to refresh the comparison."
Even tough the message implies that target database is updated successfully, I do not see the objects i selected in schema compare being added to the target database project.
I see the following warning
"Target update: Could not update script for element 'dbo'"
I have 9 Database projects in the Solution and I'm able to apply changes to 8 of the database projects through schema compare successfully. I get the same warning after schema compare for all database projects.
I have same project level setting for all database projects in the solution. I'm using Visual Studio 2013 Premium Update 5 SQL Server Data Tools 12.0.41012.0

I have a database project where objects have been pulled in from the database using schema compare.
Unfortunately CDC tables which are referenced in stored procedures on the database have not been pulled in by the schema compare & hence I cannot build the project and deploy changes back to the database.
How to get these tables included in the project .

This is a hyperV client running on my laptop. I'm connecting to the client's VPN inside the hyperV client and using the "runas" method to open Visual Studio to spoof the domain credentials i use on the clients network. This allows me to connect to servers on the client's domain via apps as if I was logged in with appropriate credentials (not sure how to phrase that better). I can elaborate if deemed necessary, but even the client's FTEs are having same problem and they're sitting in the building.

Happens about 60% of the time during the day (I just keep re-running until it deploys successfully)...late at night and on weekends, it doesn't seem to happen with anywhere near as high a frequency.Only seems to happen when I use "Always re-create database" option (don't recall incrementals having this problem...but admittedly I'm not doing many of those as we're still in the full-speed-ahead-development phase)This does NOT happen when I publish to my local SQL Server instance..Deadlock xEvent trace on target instance. Unfortunately it didn't seem to be able to capture all the info and the deadlock graph doesn't render (error below) checking the Single User Mode during the publish. This seems to increase the frequency with which this issue occurs.

We're trying to perform an upgrade test against a copy (backup/restore) of our customer database as target. There are some tables with timestamp column in the database. The way we do this is by having a database project with a publish profile targeting that copy of customer database and then with TFS build server is used to build the database but only to generate a publish script (/p:UpdateDatabase=False) set in the build definition - msbuild argument.
Example of table definition:
CREATE TABLE dbo.CodeTable1
(ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
,Code CHAR(6)
,[Timestamp] TIMESTAMP NULL);
We would like to have the "Code" column to have CHAR(7), so in the project we modify the table definition:
CREATE TABLE dbo.CodeTable1
(ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
,Code CHAR(7)
,[Timestamp] TIMESTAMP NULL);
Expecting SSDT build will generate alter script:
ALTER TABLE dbo.CodeTable1 ALTER COLUMN Code CHAR(7);
To our surprise the generated script was:
ALTER TABLE dbo.CodeTable1 ALTER COLUMN Code CHAR(7);
ALTER TABLE dbo.CodeTable1 ALTER COLUMN [Timestamp] TIMESTAMP NULL;
Which will cause error when the script is executed: "Cannot alter column 'TIMESTAMP' to be data type timestamp."
Why is SSDT generating the change script for that timestamp column??
We then try a local build in VS, the issue is not happening, SSDT correctly generates alter script only for the "Code" column to CHAR(7);
Both local machine and TFS Build server are having VS 2013 Update 4- SSDT 12.0.50318.0 installed.
As we tried to troubleshoot further, we found out that it seems it only happens on a restored database from a backup copy of our customer database. It doesn't happen for databases created by SSDT build from scratch or that we manually created. We've tried make sure all database properties are the same as the database that correctly built.
But still if the target database is the one we restored from a customer's copy, SSDT always tries to alter timestamp column (on server build).

We have a BI-Stack configuration for server SQL 2012 that includes a gateway server that houses the app, a second server which houses SQL Server DB and SSIS, and a third server that houses SSAS and SSRS. Where should SSDT tools be installed? I assume on the gateway? This is a production environment, so should VS and/or SSDT not be here at all?

Works fine in SSMS but when I try and build me project I is throwing up a reference error.
I can't import the other database into this project, so is there a way to suppress the error? I don't really want to exclude these view from the project.

In previous versions of BIDS we were able to customize the DataFlow toolbox to incorporate the Oracle Source and Oracle Destination items - however, it appears this is no longer the case in SSDT (no option to customize toolbox). I've installed the 3.0 Microsoft Connectors for Oracle - when I create a new connection in the Connection Manager I can see the Attunity drivers, but under Other Source/Other Destinations in the Toolbox I cannot find the Oracle Source/Destination components.

URL>..n how to deploy (AKA publish) without dropping the users with the DropObjectsNotInSource enabled. With the SSDT September 2012 release I have been testing I seem to be able to ignore permissions and role memberships but not users.In my situation and that of several other folks I have talked to it is a problem trying to manage this. I am thinking of scenarios where there could be (1..n) databases needing the current build (where n is big and not a static number) and need to be updated but the database Users are different for several reasons.
don't have to manually use schema compare to identify objects to drop when we deploy and not drop database users at the target? Because of the dynamic nature of these databases (i.e. 1-n might be on a different release than the current build) we would like to manage security at the source and not the project or post deployment script level.From the MSFT folks is there any hope that we will get a parameter to ignore users when DropObjects otInSource=true in an soon to be released version of SSDT?

Locally I develop in SQL server 2005 enterprise. Recently I recreated my db on the server of my hosting company (in sql server 2005 express).I basically recreated the tables and copied the data in it.I now receive the following error when I hit the DB:The 'System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider' requires a
database schema compatible with schema version '1'. However, the
current database schema is not compatible with this version. You may
need to either install a compatible schema with aspnet_regsql.exe
(available in the framework installation directory), or upgrade the
provider to a newer version.I heard something about running aspnet_regsql.exe, but I dont have that access to the DB. Also I dont know if this command does anything more than creating the membership tables and filling it with some default data...Any other solutions/thought on what this can be?Thanks!

In VisualStudio 2012 in C# projects when you double-click on a identifier (variable name, class name, etc) then all occurrences of that sting in the current file are highlighted.
It doesn't work in SQLServer projects in sql files. It is a shame that although we are in VisualStudio we are still limited in functionality.
Is there a way to enable this feature?

I have 2 dbs (SQL 2012) - one contains a trigger that is enabled/disabled by a procedure in the other database. This all works fine.
If I create a Database Project solution in Visual Studio 2012 SSDT (or 2013) for both databases, the stored procedure generates a SQL71502 stating that my trigger name can't be resolved.
To recreate the issue:
CREATE DATABASE DbWithTrigger
GO
USE DbWithTrigger
GO
CREATE TABLE dbo.TblWithTrigger(
Id int NULL,
SomeValue varchar(30) NULL
[code]....
-- Test to confirm
EXEC CrossDbTriggerCall
INSERT DbWithTrigger.dbo.TblWithTrigger VALUES(1, 'Blah blah')
In Visual Studio 2012:
1. Create a new solution with a project named DbWithTrigger
2. In project settings set the Target platform to SQL 2012
2. Import the DbWithTrigger db into this project
3. Create a new project named DbCallsTrigger
4. In project settings set the Target platform to SQL 2012
5. Import the DbCallsTrigger db into this project
6. Add a Database Reference in DbCallsTrigger for DbWithTrigger
When you build the solution both dbs build successfully, however there are two warnings. One is easily resolved by replacing DbWithTrigger in the body of the procedure with [$(DbWithTrigger)] (db variable name for the reference) but I can't find out how to get rid of the other. Is it a bug?

Is it possible to force a build to fail when a stored procedure in a project calls another stored procedure with one or more required parameters missing. E.g.:
CREATE PROCEDURE [App].[ServiceUser_Save]
@userID int-- Param #0
,@serviceuserID int-- Param #1
,@version int-- Param #2 etc...
And then in a separate stored procedure we have the following
CREATE PROCEDURE [Admin].[CreateMiscellaneousData]
@customerIDint,
@serviceIDint,
@fullURL nvarchar(255),
@apiUserPwd nvarchar(255)
AS
BEGIN
...
EXEC@return_value = [App].[ServiceUser_Save]
@userID = 1,
@serviceuserID = 0, etc...
Note there is no value passed for the @Version parameter.
What I want is the build to fail because of the missing parameter on the call to ServiceUser_Save in the Create_MiscellaneousData stored procedure.
How can I achieve this?
