How to get Database Name in Profile from the Package File

Derek Price — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 13:27:22 GMT

I've created a command line version of SampleDataInstaller solution where you pass in the package path, sqlserver, username, and password. This deploys the database just like the DDT. Now I want to be able to pass in a different database name than what's in the package. I know the DatabaseMigrator method DeployMetaData() allows you to pass in a DatabaseTargetName array.

I guess the part I don't understand is how do I know what the database name in the profile is to pass to the DatabaseTargetName constructor? I tried looking into the PackageFile class, but that looks like a ton of work to extract the XML files and look in those, but I figured there must be an easier way.

What am I missing here?

Thanks,
Derek

Yeah, that should do it. Let me know if that wasn't what you were looking for.

I think I just found what I needed:

[codesnippet]var databaseNames = DatabaseMigrator.EnumDatabaseNames(PackagePath, FrameworkPassword);[/codesnippet]
