Project Script Files

In an Oracle Database Project Version 2, script file project items represent Oracle SQL scripts. These script files follow the convention of one CREATE statement per SQL file per schema object. Any additional SQL statements beyond a single CREATE statement will be ignored. See the errors and warnings window of Visual Studio and the Visual Studio output window for notifications of this.

When source control is enabled, the Menu Options also contain applicable source control operations.
