I'm experimenting with a Database Project in Visual Studio 2003. It looks
like SQL Enterprise Manager, more or less. Does VS add anything that I can't
do in Enterprise Manager (version control of DDL, for example)?

Hi Dave

Database Projects offer the ability to store SQL files and Query files in a Visual Studio Project structure which you can add to source control such as Visual Sourcesafe. It also allows you to add a Database Reference to the project to allow running of the scripts against a connection to a live database. For more information about Database Projects, take a look at the following link:

I hope this helps
