OK, I need your help... I'm giving a talk at the next SQL Community meeting about SQL Server development in an ISV. In particular the challenge of creating databases that can be installed many times and have to be supported, patched and upgraded. In contrast, enterprise SQL development is relatively straightforward as there is one master schema and code - the live server. All you need to do is ensure you sync with the master before making any changes.

What I would like is any experiences, hindsight, methods and processes you have related to this. Either leave a comment or e-mail me directly using the link at the top of the site. Some of the things I want to cover are:

  • Development, source control and build
  • Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals
  • Installations
  • Patching, fixes and upgrades
  • Analysis Services, Integration Services, Reporting Services
  • End user schema/cube customisation
  • Performance tuning

If I get enough input I'll post the talk online.
