Those who have read my posts might notice the subtle picture change. After four and a half years of delivering content I thought my site could do with a change.

Fresh content coming soon...

@sqlcheesecake I am not too surprised, it use to be a big hit on the old Nokia 3310 phones

Since I highlighted this again this week, this post also contains a link to reasons why YAML is better from a security perspective #AzureDevOps

Released couple new repositories recently.

So if you are looking to perform CI/CD for either #SQLServer or #Azure_Synapse SQL Pools using either #AzureDevOps or #GitHub plenty here you can use as starting point.

Including repositories to deploy dacpacs to serverless SQL Pools.

Covers performing CI/CD for SQL Server 2022 using GitHub Actions. For a couple of reasons.

First one is due to the fact that when I answered a question on the well-known SQLHelp hashtag last week I realized I had never shared about deploying updates to SQL Server using GitHub Actions before.

Second reason is due to the fact that I wanted to show how to create an SDK-style database project for SQL Server 2022.

All, I have updated my post from last month about deploying a dacpac to a serverless SQL pool.

It now makes it clear that must deploy a dacpac especially created for serverless SQL Pools.

Plus, contains link to my homemade serverless SQL Pool Database Project post. #Azure #AzureDevOps #AzureSynapse

All, during this lovely fresh morning here in the Netherlands I have updated the below #GitHub repository.

Which contains a homemade database project for an #AzureSynapse serverless SQL Pool, as well as a YAML pipeline to perform CI/CD in #AzureDevOps

It also contains a link to the GitHub repository that you can use as a starting point to perform CI/CD for Azure SQL Database using GitHub Actions.

Which has now got a new workflow (yaml file) that uses sql-action v2.
