I have created a new database project for my large application using visual studio 2019. There are more than 6k object belongs to the database. When I trying to build the project it is taking long time and not able to build. There is any build errors in the project file. The DB project created under TFS. I have updated the statistics for the system tables and unchecked Auto Created statistics and Auto Update statistics under Project property operational tab but still not getting done the build. Can someone please help me to solve this problem??

Solution 1

We cannot help you: we have no access to the project, the solution, or indeed any of the code.
We can't even see the compilation results!

Start with Visual Studio and look at the Error pane: what is in there? Look at the lines any error messages refer to.

A "slow build" of a large project the first time is to be expected (i.e. until you get a clean build) because it has to compile every file to produce intermediate object files it can later link together: subsequent builds only need to process the files that are affected by any changes and go much quicker.

There is no build error its seems
Build started...
------ Build started: Project: DBProject, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------
The project model is not yet complete. The build will continue after the project model has been successfully populated.
Loading project references...
Loading project files...
Building the project model and resolving object interdependencies...
Validating the project model...
This is what I Am seeing in the output box. I am able to build the solution without TFS.

The status showing "Your database project will be ready after 31145 operations are completed

6k objects seems excessive - I've worked on major financial systems that had fewer objects (unless you are classing every Index and every SP as an "object")

Without access to any meaningful information I would suggest creating a new empty project then importing the schema in "batches", building as you go and taking care on dependencies. Only after you have built the full project for the first time should you attempt to link it to TFS.
