We don’t need to include any option to disable the validation because the default behaviour is extracting without it. Integrated Security=SSPI Database=AdventureWorks” \sqlpackage /action:Extract /TargetFile:”c:\Bancos\adv.dacpac” /SourceConnectionString:”Server=. In my machine, for example, it was located at F:\program files (X86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\enterprise\Common7\ide\extensions\microsoft\sqldb\dac\130 The SQLPackage.exe can be found inside SQL Server folders or Visual Studio folders. SQLPackage.exe can make a DACPAC extraction from the command line and it has options to avoid the database validation. While SSMS refuses the extraction, it works well on Azure Data Studio. There is no option to control the validation on the wizard, but the extraction doesn’t make the validation at all. Since you know the database has broken links, you ask to not validate and you will have your DACPAC.Īzure Data Studio has an extension called SQL Server DACPAC which brings to us the Data-Tier Application Wizard to make operations with DACPAC and BACPAC files. Use: Extract Data-tier Application to create DACPAC. There are many options similar to each other.

SSMS: Tasks and Extract Data-tier Application. When we use this window, we have the option to either validate or not the database. Open SSMS, right-click on database (in Object Explorer) and go to menu: Tasks -> Extract Data-tier Application.

We can use the SQL Server Object Explorer window inside Visual Studio to make the extraction. We need to generate the DACPAC file even with validation errors on some objects. Let’s analyze some possible solutions for this problem. Extracting DACPAC even When SQL Server refuses to - Simple Talk Skip to content
