You will just do this at deployment time through the DatabaseMigrator class.  You can see a sample of this in the sample titled "Database Installer" through the sample console.  Below is some code showing how to use a different database name while using the same package file.  Be sure that your data file in your file group uses the $DbName$ tag within the DDT itself so it can create a proper file name for each database on the server....otherwise you will get an error because the file name for the file group is already in use.

Dim loDatabase As New DatabaseTargetName("MyProfileDBName")

loDatabase.NameOnServer = "MyProfileDBName_One"
_DatabaseSetup.DeployMetaData(PackageFilePathandFileName, New DatabaseTargetName() {loDatabase})

loDatabase.NameOnServer = "MyProfileDBName_Two"
_DatabaseSetup.DeployMetaData(PackageFilePathandFileName, New DatabaseTargetName() {loDatabase})

loDatabase.NameOnServer = "MyProfileDBName_Three"
_DatabaseSetup.DeployMetaData(PackageFilePathandFileName, New DatabaseTargetName() {loDatabase})

So what might be cool is to do this in a console app, and pass in the db name





' Main sub of a deployment console app named 'DeployDb'

Sub Main(args() As String)

'-- First argument is package path and second is database name

Dim loPackageFile As String = args(0)

Dim loDataBaseName As String = args(1)



Dim loDatabase As New DatabaseTargetName(loDataBaseName )

loDatabase.NameOnServer = "MyProfileDBName_One"

_DatabaseSetup.DeployMetaData(loPackageFile , New DatabaseTargetName() {loDatabase})

End Sub





Then you could create a batch file to update all the databases easily, even build it into the build script in VS.





:: In batch file

DeployDb "c:\data\myPackage.pkg","companyA_DbName"

DeployDb "c:\data\myPackage.pkg","companyB_DbName"

DeployDb "c:\data\myPackage.pkg","companyC_DbName"

When you create the DatabaseMigrator class you provide the SQL server and authentication information.

_DatabaseSetup = New DatabaseMigrator(_SQLServer, False, Me, _SQLUserName, _SQLPassword)
