All rights reserved.' # Description of the functionality provided by this module Description = @' Publish-DacPac allows you to deploy a SQL Server Database DacPac to an on-premise SQL Server instance using a DAC Publish Profile. Publish-DacPac simplifies the use of SqlPackage.exe to deploy a DACPAC by using a DAC Publish Profile which provides for fine-grained control over the database creation and upgrades, including upgrades for schema, triggers, stored procedures, roles, users, extended properties etc. Using a DAC Publish Profile, multiple different properties can be set to ensure that the database is created or upgraded properly. Publish-DacPac compares the content of a DACPAC to the database already on the target server and generates a deployment script. You can tailor how publish works using a DAC Publish Profile. To automate build and deployment of databases in Azure DevOps, you can use MsBuild to create DacPac from your Visual Studio solution. You can then add a PowerShell task which uses Publish-DacPac to invoke SQLPackage.exe to deploy each DacPac using your own custom DAC Publish Profile. To enable Continuous Deployment scenarios, Publish-DacPac has been published as an Azure DevOps extension called Publish DacPac using a DAC Publish Profile here https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DrJohnExtensions.PublishDacPac Full documentation can be found on our project site https://github.com/DrJohnT/PublishDacPac **What's New** Encrypted connections for database deployment are now supported.
