Making the SQL developer one of the family with Visual Studio Team System

Showing how Visual Studio Team Edition for DB Professionals addresses problematic issues such as schema management, source control, testing, data generation and deployment.

Microsoft Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals has been with us for a couple of years now. The new GDR release has some significant changes from the previous versions. In this session I will look at how VSTS for the first time makes the database developer a first class citizen in the Microsoft development family, particulary highlighting the new features in the GDR release.

I aim to cover the complete development life cycle using this tool, addressing issues such as schema management, source control, testing, data generation and deployment.
