+# Packaging and Deploying SQL Databases
+
+FAKE can be used to create a SQL DACPAC and also deploy it to a SQL Server using the MSDeploy executable. This is installed by default with Visual Studio and with the SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) package.
+
+DACPACs automatically diff from the source to the destination and generate the SQL script dynamically.
+
+You can read up more on DACPac and MSDeploy arguments [here](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh550081%28v=vs.103%29.aspx).
+
+## Sample usage
+
+Ensure that you have already built your database project (you can do this with standard MSBuild). Then, use the ``deployDb`` command to deploy the ``dbProject.dacpac`` to the ``myDatabase``.
+
+    open Fake.Sql.DacPac
+    
+    /// the database for local development + compile
+    Target "DeployLocalDb" (fun _ ->
+        let connectionString = "Data Source=(localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB;Integrated Security=True;Database=MyDatabase;Pooling=False"
+        let dacPacPath = "path/to/dbProject.dacpac"
+        deployDb (fun args -> { args with Source = dacPacPath; Destination = localDbConnectionString }) |> ignore)
+
+## Deployment Options
+
+You can optionally specify the type of command to use (again, refer to the documentation above for more detail): -
+
+* Deploy - full deploy to destination
+* Script - SQL script
+* Report - XML report of diff
+
+In addition, you can also elect to deploy to Dacpac files rather than SQL databases - simply pass in the pass to the dacpac that you wish to generate.
