Configuring Database Projects and Performing a Test Deployment
Before you start to perform iterative development tasks, you should configure your database project to match your target deployment environment. After you configure the database project, you can build and deploy the database to your isolated development environment to verify that the build and deployment settings are correct.
In the following table, you can find descriptions of common tasks that support this scenario and links to more information about how you can successfully complete those tasks.
