deploy azure database (using SSDT) with Visual studio online


We want to deploy Azure database which is in git source control in Visual Studio Online (VSO) to be deployed to the Azure Database. The script is in SSDT which I can deploy using my local Visual Studio IDE locally.

When I try to publish the database using VSO it throws following:

    ....publish.sql (0, 0)
Unable to connect to target server.

Our VSO build definition looks as below.

Any idea?


Solution

  • In a similar thread, it turned out that the problem was the SQL server password not being saved. The poster did the following to resolve:

    1. Server Explorer
    2. Right click connection > Modify connection
    3. Tick Save Password
    4. Advanced..
    5. Security Section - Enter password here
    6. OK
    7. Test connection - good
    8. Re-run publish from the relevant DatabaseDeploy.publish xml file
