The Microsoft SQL Server Data-Tier Application Framework (DacFx) is a .NET library which provides application lifecycle services for database development and management for Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Azure SQL Databases.
SqlPackage.exe is a command line interface to DacFx and is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. For more about SqlPackage.exe, check out the reference page on Microsoft Docs.
Microsoft.Build.Sql (preview) is a .NET project SDK for SQL projects, compiling T-SQL code to a data-tier application package (dacpac). The SQL project SDK is available via NuGet (https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Build.Sql/) and in this repository.
This repository is available for transparently triaging and addressing feedback on DacFx, including the NuGet package and the cross-platform CLI SqlPackage.exe. We welcome community interaction and suggestions! For more information on contributing feedback through interacting with issues see Contributing.
This repository is available to make related open source components accessible even from their early stages. Feedback and contributions are welcome!
