The following query returns the members of the database roles.

SELECT DP1.name AS DatabaseRoleName,   

   isnull (DP2.name, 'No members') AS DatabaseUserName   

 FROM sys.database_role_members AS DRM  

 RIGHT OUTER JOIN sys.database_principals AS DP1  

   ON DRM.role_principal_id = DP1.principal_id  

 LEFT OUTER JOIN sys.database_principals AS DP2  

   ON DRM.member_principal_id = DP2.principal_id  

WHERE DP1.type = 'R'

ORDER BY DP1.name;  

Create User Group in Azure using Azure CLI (powershell)

Steps1 - Login to the azure account with  right account with azure AD access. 

Step 2 - Open CloudShell by clicking the icon on the top right corner.

Step 3 - You'll need to associate CLI session with a Storage account. So follow the instruction and connect with the storage account. 

Step 4 - Select the PowerShell in the dropdown window 

You'll see something like this screenshot:

Step 5 - type the below command and press enter:

 PS /home/sanjeeb> Connect-AzureAd

Create Build/Release Pipeline for SSIS in Azure SQL server

Create a new pipeline in devops.

Select the source:

Select an empty template

Select Get Sources in the left panel:

Now add a new agent job to Build SSIS. Click the + icon.

Search for SSS job. (if it's not already installed, then first install it from the marketplace)

Add SSIS build and then add SSIS Deploy 

Once you add these two jobs, your screen should look like this:

Now Select Build SSIS:

in the Project Path field, select the directory where .sln file is located. 

Leave the rest of the fields as default.

Now Select Deploy SSIS job to configure deploying settings 

add source path = $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory) (i.e. output path value from Build SSIS job-Previous step).

select destination type = SSISDB.

Destination Server = realdatabaseserver01.database.windows.net

Destination Path = /SSISDB/masterdatahub

Authentication type = SQL Server Authentication (you can choose any other option as per your need)

Click on the Triggers tab and configure Continuous Integration. 

Now Save and Queue the Pipeline. 

Once released you will see the ssis package under masterdatahub folder

That's everything for Azure devops continuous integration/ continuous deployment process for releasing ssis project to azure sql server. Good luck!

How To create SSIS user in Azure SQL server

I've assumed you have already configured domain in azure and have created a domain user.

Create Application in app registration  

First of all Create an app registration [myssissqlserver01]

Set up Active directory Admin in sql server

Now Go to the sql server (not the database) and on settings menu, click Active directory Admin

Click Set Admin and add your domain account. (in case you don't have domain configured , Configure a new domain and create a domain user first)

Connect to the database using MS Sql server management studio

Once admin is set , Open MS Sql server management studio and connect to the database.

Since we have added user to active directory admin, the user will have access to master database. So we can choose default database to connect, 

Create a user in ssis and add to a suitable role

Create a new query window selecting SSISDB database

execute the below queries. Note that the user name should be identical to the Application name created in App registration section . [ myssissqlserver01]

create user [myssissqlserver01] from external provider;

exec sp_addrolemember [db_owner],[myssissqlserver01];

Add Azure Devops plugins in Android Studio for Git or TFVC Version control

Create Azure SQL User and add a sql role

I wanted to add a new sql user "sqluser" in Azure SQL server to access a database "sanjeeb". 

Steps to create a new SQL user. 

1) Connect to the Azure sql server with existing user using Microsoft SQL Server Management studio

2) Open new query window under Master database

3) Run the below script
    
    CREATE LOGIN [sqllogin] WITH PASSWORD = 'verystrongpassword#1' 
   

4) Open new query window under database "sanjeeb"

5) Run the below script

CREATE USER [sqluser]

FOR LOGIN [sqllogin]

WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA =  dbo

GO

-- Add user to the database owner role

EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_owner', N'sqluser'

GO

6) You've now created a user login "sqllogin", user account "sqluser" and added the user to "db_owner role"

7) Connect to the database using the new user login account. 

login: sqllogin

password:verystrongpassword#1

8) Click Options and select Connection properties tab

9) input Connect to database = sanjeeb

10) Click connect

Add nuget packages to Artifacts in Azure devops

download latest nuget.exe from the nuget site. (google it)

copy the nuget.exe in d: (any location is fine)

Use visual studio -> Package manager console.
