Deploying DAC to SQL Server 2014

The acronym DAC in SQL Server has many different meanings as in the following bullet list:
  • DAC - Data-tier Application
  • DAC - Dedicated Administrator Connection
  • DAC - Data Access Components
  • DAC - Data Application Component
This post describes deploying a Data-tier Application extracted from SQL Server 2012 Express database to SQL Server 2014 CTP1 (should work with CTP2 as well). The two servers are on two partitions on a x64 bit Windows laptop, with SQL Server 2012 on Windows 7 Partition and CTP1 on Windows 8 Preview partition.

There are no issues for this deployment and the next few images shows the stages of deployment wizard while deploying to SQL Server 2014 CTP1. We start with a .dac file created on Windows 7 partition and copied over to the desktop on Windows 8 partition.





 
The steps are very clear and you may also review the following for more detailed discussion of DAC with earlier versions on older OS.
