Session
[2] Database Deployment for the Masses
Short Version: How would you like to be able to version your database? Be able to upgrade and downgrade with ease? How about not having to rely on a non-existent (or worse, unhelpful) DBA? This session is all that and more! I will use SQL Server, Entity Framework Migrations, Source Control, and a little bit of "process" to show you how we tamed the SQL deployment process and made it a thing of beauty. With nothing more than your bare hands, a little bit of luck, some spare duck tape, and a various other things - you can too!
Full Version: Do you love your database versioning and deployment process? Do you work with the best DBAs in the world? Then this session isn't for you. But on a completely unrelated side note, are you hiring?

You can use Entity Framework Migrations even if you don't use Entity Framework as an ORM.
