Making SSDT just generate a SQL script (and not deploy a database)
sql, sql-server-data-tools, visual-studio-2010
Solution
To generate a script from an offline data project in SSDT rather than deploy to a target database, configure the project settings as shown below
Problem
Having recently upgraded to SSDT 2012 I seem to be missing the option to just generate a T-SQL script instead of deploying the database to a server somewhere. To be more accurate the predecessor to SSDT used to set the Deploy action to 'Generate script', but I cannot locate that option anywhere in the new version. Is it possible?
