Deployment

Before you can test your SQL CLR code, you must deploy the assembly containing it and register the individual functions that you want recognized as stored procedures. A number of deployment methods are at your disposal; we will pause to cover them in this section, before discussing testing of your stored procedures and the other four basic SQL CLR entities.

Getting Ready

If you’re using a SQL Server Database Project, you’ll deploy your assembly using SSDT’s Publish function. But before doing so, you must be able to build the project successfully. A build will not only compile the SQL CLR assembly itself, but will also check the code for various errors, including unresolved references to database objects.
