We can use Visual Studio to run the Import Database Wizard and populate an empty Database Project. Continuous Integration has become standard practice for many development projects, we can also do using Visual Studio SQL Server Database Project. In this article we’re going to learn about how to we can manage our database scripts using Visual Studio’s SQL Server Database Project. As a result, there are many applications out there with the ‘application code’ in source control, but the database code is unmanaged. Developers have been using source control for a long time, but there just wasn’t a good way to get database objects under source control. There are many good tools available in the market for comparing databases but most of them are paid. And even after that when we manage the scripts, then we still need to compare which script we had worked on and which are remaining on any particular database.

Databases plays an important role in any project these days.
