Microsoft publish Visual Studio 2010 Database Project Guidance

Three days ago I wrote a blog post entitled Setting up database unit testing as part of a Continuous Integration build process [VS2010 DB Tools - Datadude] which goes through some of the intracasies of using Visual Studio 2010 Database projects (aka datadude projects) and database unit testing as part of a continuous integration build. Well it turns out I needn't have bothered because today Microsoft have (or, more accurately, Jens Suessmeyer has) published a 91-page guidance document on using datadude projects and on page 57 it covers exactly what I covered in my blog post (plus a lot more besides). Ah well...

Anyway, if you want to take a read of this tome head to http://vsdatabaseguide.codeplex.com/ and/or go and read Jens' blog post on the matter ALM Visual Studio Database Projects Guidance is out in the wild !
