Installation

It's a DotNet Global Tool, distributed via NuGet.

Global installation

To install it globally (machine), you use the dotnet tool install command with the -g switch:

dotnet tool install -g dotnet-sqldb

After that you can start using it (you might need to restart your prompt of choice):

dotnet sqldb --help

or

dotnet-sqldb --help

Local installation

To install it locally, you use the dotnet tool install command with the --tool-path switch:

dotnet tool install dotnet-sqldb --tool-path /path/for/tool

To use it you will need to include it in the current environment path.

Commands

The following commands are supported:

• Ensure: Ensures that the specified DB exists. If it does not exist, it gets created.

dotnet sqldb ensure [--connectionstring|-c]=mycnstring

or

dotnet-sqldb ensure [--connectionstring|-c]=mycnstring

• Drop: Drops the specified database if it exists

dotnet sqldb drop [--connectionstring|-c]=mycnstring

or

dotnet-sqldb drop [--connectionstring|-c]=mycnstring

• Up: Upgrades the database by applying SQL-scripts using DbUp

dotnet sqldb up [--connectionstring|-c]=mycnstring [--assembly|-a]=myassembly_with_embedded_scripts

or

dotnet-sqldb up [--connectionstring|-c]=mycnstring [--assembly|-a]=myassembly_with_embedded_scripts

Integration tests

The ./.env file and ./src/tests/IntegrationTests/integrationtests.local.ini files are .gitignored. In order to create sample files of these, you can run:

. init-local-config.sh

Docker-Compose

There's a docker-compose.yml file, that defines usage of an SQL Server instance over port 1401. The SA_PASSWORD is configured via environment key DNSQLDB_SA_PWD, which can either be specified via:

• Environment variable: DNSQLDB_SA_PWD, e.g.:

DNSQLDB_SA_PWD=MyFooPassword

• Docker Environment file ./.env (.gitignored), e.g.:

DNSQLDB_SA_PWD=MyFooPassword

Test configuration

A connection string needs to be provided, either via:

• Local-INI-file (.gitignored): ./src/tests/IntegrationTests/integrationtests.local.ini containing a connection string section with a TestDb node, e.g.:

[ConnectionStrings]
TestDb="Server=.,1401;Database=foodb;User ID=sa;Password=MyFooPassword"

• Environment variable: DNSQLDB_ConnectionStrings__TestDb, e.g.:

DNSQLDB_ConnectionStrings__TestDb=Server=.,1401;Database=foodb;User ID=sa;Password=MyFooPassword
