Running into a weird issue. Assuming there are two database projects in one empty solution, Bart and Homer. Bart has been added as a Database Reference to Homer. Bart project defines a function: CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[Message]() RETURNS NVARCHAR(255) AS BEGIN RETURN 'I am a value returned from another database' END Then the Homer project defines a table: CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Messages] ( [Id] INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY ) and a view: CREATE VIEW [dbo].[MessagesV] AS SELECT Id, Bart.dbo.Message() AS [Message] FROM dbo.Messages When trying to build, I am getting these errors: Error 2 SQL71501:

SSMS and SSRS to Excel enable for more than 255 columns when copy-pasting. SSIS does not allow for more than 255 columns to be exported to Excel 2007. Is there a way to override this?

Get the date value from D1 Create 2 SSIS variables, @[User::FilePath] (of type string) that

We have a build step to build a solution with about 70 projects using the Visual Studio (sln) as the runner type. We are able to successfully build other projects that are not supported by MSBuild, such as a vdproj file and office plug-ins by doing this. However, it apparently does not work for SSDT/SSRS projects. I have made sure the latest version of SSDT is installed to Visual Studio, and Visual Studio 2015 is directly on the build server. rptproj is not supported by MSBuild and cannot be built Is there any thing else I need to do to get these to build correctly? I have read about some

I have an issue with compilation of SSDT SQL Server Database Project by using Visual Studio 2015. I want to use C# 6 features inside my database project, but it seems like it is unsupported. For example, I have added the next class in my db project: namespace Database1 { class ClassFile1 { public string Str { get; } = string.Empty; } } I have tried to compile this, but I got the error: CS1519: Invalid token '=' in class, struct, or interface member declaration I have found out that the reason of this error is wrong version of compiler that used by VS 2015. The next compilation line is

When I add an expression to that empty report, like in the example below, it refuses

I have created a new "Database" project in Visual Studio 2013. I have set the Target platform to "Windows Azure SQL Database". The project is nearly empty, with the exception of one .sql file to create a Schema. When I try to publish the project, it takes several minutes and ends with: Creating publish preview... Failed to import target model [database_name]. Detailed message Unable to reconnect to database: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. I have tested the connection string, and it works. What do I need to do to
