The create a database project workstream involves creating the initial database project for use by the development team. This crucial workflow sets up an offline representation of the database under development that can be shared by the whole team through source code control. Creating this project enables isolated iterative database development to occur among the database developers in a fashion that encourages change through mitigating the associated risks. This workstream’s activities include creating, configuring, and testing the database project. Oftentimes you will have an existing database that you wish to bring under a managed change environment and thus an important optional step is importing the existing live database into a database project. The activity of importing an existing database requires sufficient permissions on the database and thus is the responsibility of the database administrator, who has appropriate access to the live database environment. The Database Project Wizard can be used to guide you through most of the associated activities described below. This project wizard simplifies the creation of the database project. Further configuration may still need to be performed after completing the wizard.
