When using the DDT to deploy a package there are 3 Deployment Options available:

1- Standard Deployment

2- Deploy Stored Procedures, Views and UDFs Only.

3- Deploy Data Only



When using the DatabaseMigrator class, is there a way to provide a Deployment Option?



I have a customer with several million records and sometimes only a View or Stored Procedure changed, but the deployment will take over 30 minutes when using the DatabaseMigrator and I would like to programatically setup my update process to only update what have changed.



Thanks!

You're welcome, my friend.

Hi Ivan,



This post by Randy Jean http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost20066.aspx really helps.



Since what I am trying to do is build an self automated update process so when I release an update to the customer, based on some parameters this will update the database and deploy needed data without user intervention.



In this case, this database could have several million records and hence the need for me to control how the DatabaseMigrator class should apply the update, but I am having some problems figuring out how to let the DatabaseMigrator do their job automatically, probably using an encrypted XML file in the same folder as the DDT package file.



Anyway, thanks again for the prompt assistance and comments.

Yep, you really could send a parameters file and work with it depending on your situations.

Glad the links helped.
