Depending on the status of your project and the target database, the deployment engine compares these two, and generates the diff script for you.  If the target database does not exist on the server at the time of your deployment, the deployment engine will generate the script to create the database. There are also numerous options you can set in the project properties that could affect the actual deployment scripts. <br/><br/>Let us know if you have another other question. <br/><br/>-- Joyce </p>Tue, 30 Jun 2009 15:53:27 Z2009-06-30T15:53:27Zhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vstsdb/thread/8782ae21-a858-4650-be55-ed1b7a2c1c92#53e53070-58e9-48c3-9b3f-df48c1cbbd36http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vstsdb/thread/8782ae21-a858-4650-be55-ed1b7a2c1c92#53e53070-58e9-48c3-9b3f-df48c1cbbd36Luis Esteban Valencia Muñozhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=Luis%20Esteban%20Valencia%20Mu%u00f1ozImport Database Objects and Settings not enabledwhat about if there are new objects I need to import to the project, what should I do? so far, today in the morning I have had to create 5 different databse projects cause I havent find how to<br/><br/>thx<hr class="sig">MCPD ENTERPRISE APPLICATIONS DEVELOPER http://wantmvp.blogspot.com/Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:09:14 Z2009-06-30T16:09:14Zhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vstsdb/thread/8782ae21-a858-4650-be55-ed1b7a2c1c92#b781bd91-1690-41fe-a927-9eba542ed51dhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vstsdb/thread/8782ae21-a858-4650-be55-ed1b7a2c1c92#b781bd91-1690-41fe-a927-9eba542ed51dJoyceWang_MSFThttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=JoyceWang_MSFTImport Database Objects and Settings not enabledYes, you can do it by importing into a new database project. Or, you can script out your new objects from SQL Server side, and use Import Scripts... although this is not a recommended way.  I assume you are still trying to establish your baseline project. <br/><br/>Ideally once you get your baseline project ready, you will do all your database development on the project side, and deploy your changes back to the server, not the other way around. Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:19:28 Z2009-06-30T16:19:28Zhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vstsdb/thread/8782ae21-a858-4650-be55-ed1b7a2c1c92#8b238e56-4de1-4259-bc83-f0ec1ec41676http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vstsdb/thread/8782ae21-a858-4650-be55-ed1b7a2c1c92#8b238e56-4de1-4259-bc83-f0ec1ec41676Luis Esteban Valencia Muñozhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=Luis%20Esteban%20Valencia%20Mu%u00f1ozImport Database Objects and Settings not enabledGot It.  Thats a very good idea we were using sql management studio to alter procedures, etc<br/> <br/> Thanks<br/><hr class="sig">MCPD ENTERPRISE APPLICATIONS DEVELOPER http://wantmvp.blogspot.com/Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:21:18 Z2009-06-30T16:21:18Z
