Compile an "SQL Server Database Project" project in Visual Studio 2012 from command-line?

Question

What is the command-line to build an "SQL Server Database Project" project?

I try to google for this but I was filled with lots of posts on Visual Studio 2010 which is outdated.

Please share if you know how to.

Answer 1

Using the Visual Studio Developer command prompt, navigate to the project folder and type msbuild <projectname>.sqlproj.

The default msbuild action is to build the project (it's possible to pass "/t:Build" in to explicitly call build).

From a non-developer command prompt you'd just need to add MSBuild to the path.
