There is often a mismatch between needs of the development team (multiple discreet T-SQL files for separate concerns) and the release team (the requirement for one step automated deployment) . The script bridges the requirement by using sqlcmd.exe to run a batch of SQL scripts.
A text file is used listing all sql files that need to run in a particular order to avoid errors which may occur if there are dependencies between the scripts. Instead of using a text file a number can be prefixed to the scripts based on the order they need to run.
The script expects two parameters –
- Path of folder containing the set of T-SQL files (and the manifest file, see below)
- Connection string
The script can be downloaded from technet gallery.
## Provide the path name of the SQL scripts folder and connnection string
##.\SQLBatchProcessing.ps1 -SQLScriptsFolderPath "C:\Sql Batch Processing\SQLScripts" -ConnectionString "DEV-DB-01"
