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:\packages"

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