I'm looking at the Database Project in VS2010, the idea being that I want something I can use to keep track of the database schema (in source control) and the ability to generate "new install" scripts, and change scripts.
When I create a new database project wizard and import my existing database schema, it won't "build". I get the error:
SQL03006: User: [scanner] has an unresolved reference to Login [scanner].
The SQL that generates this error:
CREATE USER [scanner] FOR LOGIN [scanner];
The user "scanner" is a login defined in the database I imported. I have no idea what it's teling me, and google isn't throwing much up. Any ideas?
The Login is actually defined in the master database of the server install. The CREATE USER statement needs to point at an existing Login otherwise it errors. The Database Project is not aware of the Login at the server level. Either you can create a Server Project to handle the Logins, or you can turn off the checking of Security objects in your Database Project.
