#Add sqlpackage.exe location folder to environment, this is done once only
[string]$path='C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\130\DAC\bin' ## the folder where sqlpackage.exe resides

if (-not ($env:path).Contains('C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\130\DAC\bin'))
{ $env:path = $env:Path + ';C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\130\DAC\bin'; }

# do a backup, i.e. generate the DAC package file, assuming the source sql server instance is my local server

sqlpackage /a:extract /of:true /scs:"server=localhost;database=AdventureWorks2012;trusted_connection=true" /tf:"C:\SQL Server Management Studio\DAC Packages\AdventureWorks2012.dacpac";

<#
# if you have multiple databases to backup, you can generate their dacpac files easily using PowerShell as follows:
# you may need to change server=localhost to your desired sql instance name (or put this instance name in a variable)

[string[]]$dbs = "db1", "db2";
$dbs | % {sqlpackage /a:extract /of:true /scs:"server=localhost;database=$_;trusted_connection=true" /tf:"C:\SQL Server Management Studio\DAC Packages\$_.dacpac";}

#do a restore to my local named instance
sqlpackage /a:publish /sf:"C:\SQL Server Management Studio\DAC Packages\AdventureWorks2012.dacpac" /tcs:"server=localhost\sql2014;database=AdventureWorks2012;trusted_connection=true"

<#
