Examples

---------- EXAMPLE 1 ----------

$scriptsFolder = "C:\Work\scripts"
$validatedSchema = $scriptsFolder | Invoke-DlmDatabaseSchemaValidation
$databasePackage = $validatedSchema | New-DlmDatabasePackage -PackageId MyDatabase -PackageVersion 1.0.0
$databasePackage | Export-DlmDatabasePackage -Path "C:\Export\packages"

In this example, the New-DlmDatabasePackage cmdlet creates a IBuildArtifact object from a validated database schema. The Export-DlmDatabasePackage cmdlet then exports the package to c:\Export\packages.

---------- EXAMPLE 2 ----------

$project = "C:\Work\project\project.sqlproj"
$validatedProject = $project | Invoke-DlmDatabaseSchemaValidation
$databasePackage = $validatedProject | New-DlmDatabasePackage -PackageId MyDatabase -PackageVersion 1.0.0
$databasePackage | Export-DlmDatabasePackage -Path "C:\Export\packages"

In this example, the New-DlmDatabasePackage cmdlet creates a IBuildArtifact object from a validated database schema. The Export-DlmDatabasePackage cmdlet then exports the package to C:\Export\packages.

---------- EXAMPLE 3 ----------

$project = "C:\Work\project\project.sqlproj"
$validatedProject = $project | Invoke-DlmDatabaseSchemaValidation
$databasePackage = $validatedProject | New-DlmDatabasePackage -PackageId MyDatabase -PackageVersion 1.0.0
$databasePackage | Export-DlmDatabasePackage -Path "C:\Export\packages" -OutputFormat Zip

In this example, the New-DlmDatabasePackage cmdlet creates a IBuildArtifact object from a validated database schema. The Export-DlmDatabasePackage cmdlet then exports the package to C:\Export\packages as a zip file.
