Today, i have submitted my first bug/feedback in microsoft connect for visual studio 2011 developer preview https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/715780/database-schema-view-in-vs2011 It seems that the developer preview is missing the database schema view which is very useful for organizing database object in the project.
Database project can be use to version control your database, synchronize database schema across all environment, build "test data" and manage deployment to production server. All-in-all Visual studio database project is a very helpful tool for DBA's
A useful blogs for database project is found here. http://msmvps.com/blogs/deborahk/archive/2010/05/02/vs-2010-database-project-an-introduction.aspx The official documentation for database project in vs2010 is found here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd193294.aspx There no official release for 2011 documentation as of.
One of my observed improvement for Visual studio 2011 developer preview database porject is that it has now an GUI similar to "SQL Server Denali/2012" for creating database object. Which makes it a lot easier creating database object
