This week, we've added the same feature to the TFS Build plugin.Note that including documentation increases the build time, particularly for large databases. For more information, see Using the TFS Build plugin. See also Updating the TFS Build plugin.

This week we've made the same option available in the TeamCity plugin and the TFS MSBuild scripts. Note that including documentation increases the build time, particularly for large databases. For more information, see Using the TeamCity plugin or Using the TFS MSBuild scripts.We'd love to hear what you think of this feature. Post your feedback on UserVoice.

Feature
Include database documentation in the NuGet package
SQL CI can now include SQL Doc database documentation in the NuGet package that it builds. Use the/includeDocs
switch in the Build command if you to do this. For more information, see Using the build command. We're considering making further improvements to this feature, which we've noticed currently adds significantly to the build time for large databases. So we'd love to hear what you think of it.

Features
Simplified activation
We've simplified the way you activate SQL CI. You can now use the DLM Automation Suite app to activate SQL CI and all the other tools in the suite. For more information, see Activating.- Choose how SQL CI determines compatibility level
By default SQL CI uses the database's compatibility level to detect supported features. If you prefer, you can now get SQL CI to use server information to determine the compatibility level. To do this in the build, test or sync steps, use the/additionalCompareArgs
to exclude the SQL Compare default optionUseCompatibilityLevel
. See Using the command line. New version of SQL Compare engine
We've updated the SQL Compare engine that powers SQL CI. For details of features and fixes, see the SQL Compare 11.3.3 release notes.
Fixes
- SQLCI-270: We've fixed a bug, occurring with some configurations of TeamCity, that was causing the NuGet package to increase in size on every successive build.
- SQLCI-271: The TFS Build plugin was sometimes failing to generate the automated part of NuGet package version number correctly. We've now fixed this. If you're using this plugin with TFS 2015, you should update to the latest version. See Updating the TFS Build plugin.
Add-on versions
- TeamCity plugin 2.0.6.571
- TFS Build plugin 2.0.5.398
- TFS MSBuild scripts 2.1.6.125
2.1.5.85 - September 30th, 2015
Features
- Improved performance
We've improved the startup performance of SQL CI and the SQL Compare engine that powers it, allowing SQL CI to build, test, sync and publish databases more quickly. - Improved default behaviour for temporary instance when using Migrations V2 beta
In previous versions of SQL CI, if you were using Migrations V2 beta and specified a temporary instance in the build or test steps by using the/temporaryDatabaseServer
,/temporaryDatabaseName
,/temporaryDatabaseUserName
and/temporaryDatabasePassword
switches, you also needed to specify these switches to SQL Compare using the/additionalCompareArgs
switch. This is no longer necessary. The details of the temporary instance are now automatically passed through to SQL Compare.
- New version of SQL Compare engine
We've updated the SQL Compare engine that powers SQL CI. For details of features and fixes, see the SQL Compare 11.3.2 release notes.
Add-on versions
- TeamCity plugin 2.0.5.562
- TFS Build plugin 2.0.4.380
- TFS MSBuild scripts 2.1.5.85
2.1.4.61 - September 23rd, 2015
We've updated the SQL Compare engine that powers SQL CI. For details of features and fixes, see the SQL Compare 11.3.1 release notes.
Add-on versions
- TeamCity plugin 2.0.4.557
- TFS Build plugin 2.0.4.380
- TFS MSBuild scripts 2.1.4.61
Fix
SQLCI-259:
In earlier versions of SQL CI, the build and test steps failed when handling tables containing FILESTREAM columns. This is still true when you use the default settings. This happens because SQL CI makes a copy of your database on a temporary server. By default, it uses LocalDB for this, which doesn't support FILESTREAM.
However, if you specify an alternative temporary server that supports FILESTREAM instead of using LocalDB, the build and test steps will now work correctly.
For more information, see Build and test steps fail when using a FILESTREAM data column.

Features

Databases built by SQL CI already show up as recognized schemas in DLM Dashboard. To make this clearer, recognized schemas are now also labelled with the SQL CI icon .
For more information about how SQL CI works with DLM Dashboard, see SQL CI integration (Dashboard documentation). - Updated SQL Compare engine
