Redgate Software develop database lifecycle management tools (DLM) that help your organization include databases alongside applications in agile processes.
Redgate SQL Release is part of the DLM Automation Suite, a suite of tools that let you apply continuous integration and release management processes to Microsoft SQL Server databases.
Using this extension for Visual Studio Online you can deploy SQL Server databases, as part of your release process.
Within the task, there are four actions available:
- Create database release
- Deploy from a database package to a database
- Deploy from deployment resources to a database
- Deploy from a database to another database
The best practice is to use this extensions in your VSTS Release definition. Use the SQL CI VSTS extension to build and publish a database package, then consume this package as an artifact.
You can use this extension free for 28 days. Beyond that, you will need a license for Redgate’s DLM Automation Suite. Contact Redgate Software for details.
