Data Dude (aka "Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals") and TeamBuild

CoDe Magazine - The Data Dude Meets Team Build

"Integrate the data tier developer into the core development life cycle and process.” That is one of the main objectives of Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals, also known under its project name “Data Dude.” Bringing the data tier developer into Visual Studio is the first step in enabling closer integration between the application and data tier developer. Having both environments leverage the same Team Foundation Build (Team Build) system enables daily and automatic integration of changes into the build process, enforcing closer integration and shorter feedback cycles between the two originally disjoint disciplines.

Now you know how to integrate Database Projects into a Team Build environment. You could achieve more things by extending the approach described above. For example, you could automatically deploy the database schema as part of the build process by adding the SqlDeployTask to the post-build events, or you could integrate database unit testing and data generation into the test execution part of Team Build."

Interesting. I'd like to start using Data Dude and we're moving to TeamBuild for all our projects, so good timing on this article (12 pages printed)...
