| Hi all, I've been learning/using SSMS for about 6 or 7 months, and I still don't understand what "projects" and "solutions" are. Does anyone use these? I just end up creating individual files since that's what I was told to do (by the only guy in IT willing to help me).And now that I'm thinking about learning Analysis Services, I find the whole project/solution question coming back. Can anyone explain what exactly these are and how to use them? Is it all that different from having individual files saved in a folder?Thanks, and sorry for the st00pid n00b question! |

| SSMS is using Visual Studio shell and one of common practice of VS is using project and solution.Project/solution in SSMS is similar concept as in VS. It provides a container that has connecton information andmultiple script files. Not a big practical difference between using project/sln and using folder/files, I think.A difference is that if you set a specific DB in connection of ssms project, script in proj is open in the connection context.http://www.sqlmgmt.com |
