#REDGATE SQL TOOLBELT PATCH HOW TO#
How to install Redgate SQL Toolbelt with Chocolatey You can check out the things that Aaron likes to install, you can check out the things that I like to install.Īll I did was I create a fork from Aaron so I could customize mine. I forked this off a really useful gist from Aaron Nelson who has his favorite things to install with Chocolatey, too. So these are a lot of the commands that I like to use: I can actually pass in a parameter for that! Sample commands for Chocolatey installs for SQL Server DBAs - some lists! For example, I like to put the Sysinternals tools – these are tools like ZoomIt, Process Explorer, and Process Manager from the Sysinternals team at Microsoft- I like to put these in a custom folder. I’ve even be able been able to customize installation. All of the stuff you see on here, I have just installed using the command line. So far today I have– just using the command line– installed SQL Server Management Studio, Azure Data Studio, Azure Data Studio PowerShell. So I want to show you a little bit about using Chocolatey to set up SQL Toolbelt. I’d used Chocolatey briefly for setting up some tooling given out by our dev team for some cool preview stuff we’re doing, but I hadn’t really thought about the fact that it could save me a ton of time setting up Windows desktop apps. I remembered that I heard recently from my school my teammate Grant Fritchey, who’d heard from Steve Jones (also on our team) that when you’re setting up Windows the Chocolatey package manager can save you a bunch of time.
I have been setting up a new desktop and I’ve got a lot of apps to install, including things like Redgate SQL Toolbelt. Today I’m going to show you something that is a little bit life-changing for me. My name is Kendra Little and I am a DevOps Advocate at Redgate. Hello and welcome to this live stream episode.
