SQL CI and NuGet

AdamRink

Not sure which forum to post SQL CI in:

So with SQL CI I can build a NuGet package that can be used by the deployment manager or by SQL CI. Is there a way to use this NuGet package without SQL CI to deploy the databases to developer environments?

I've used NuGet in VS a bit but can't seem to wrap my head around how to use it with SQL Server or maybe that's why SQL CI is there. I just was hoping not have to have a license per developer box

NuGet is a glorified zip file. We would tend to recommend using PowerShell + sqlcmd to do any general purpose work using the files withing nuget.

Does that help?

Kind of, I'm just thinking if can I get my developers to pull it off a nuget feed and update their environments. I would assume they would need SQL Compare at that point.
