Notable points:

• Pre-Deployment scripts must be re-runnable as they will be executed as part of every deployment.
  • Object existence checks are used for both MyFileGroup and MyFile to ensure they are not created twice.
• Pre-Deployment scripts are deployed to every environment.
  • CURRENT is used because the database may have different names in different environments.
  • Other environment specific differences such as file paths may need to change between servers. Here, we use @@SERVERNAME to allow environment specific paths.
• By default there is no error handling, so this script tests for an error, and sets NOEXEC to ON if an error occurs.
