How to use DB Deploy

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0800

Here is a quick example of how to use DB Deploy

This example uses NANT to run DBDeploy which in turn generates the output.sql file. This is then run against the database causing our changes to be run in and putting an entry in the ChangeLog table to tell you which sql files have been run.

To run this sample

Download to a location on your computer e.g. C:\Examples\DBDeployExample
Create a database onyour localhost called DBDeployExample
In a command prompt (Or PowerShell) use NANT to build the solution –(I have this setup as an environment variable setup and simply type ‘NANT’)
NANT will build the default.build file and run the database changes

Opening the solution file looks like this
