Can I do database deployments, without installing Visual Studio or VSTSDB?


In setting up our TFS 2010 build machine we are trying to avoid installing Visual Studio (2005/2008/2010). For most builds just installing the necessary SDK has allowed us to get good builds w/o visual studio.

However, with VSTSDB (Visual Studio Team System Database for professionals) I'm unable to identify what (if any) SDK is available to be installed rather than installing VSTSDB on the build machine. Does such an SDK exist?


Solution

  • The TFS 2010 Build Service can build Database Projects out-of-the-box. It doesn't require any additional components.
