Add support for "Prevent saving changes that require table re-creation" option in SqlPackage / SSDT

See original GitHub issue

In SQL Server Management Studio, there’s a designer option called “Prevent saving changes that require table re-creation”.

It would be extremely useful to have a similar option in SqlPackage.exe as well, as it could stop dangerous deployments that could potentially re-create very large tables and severely impact production environments while doing so.

We have separate publish profiles for dev and prod. We would likely add this parameter to block on table recreation to both profiles.

Developers deploy to their local db using SSDT + dev publish profile in VS.

I’d imagine developers hitting any issues locally during development, and make necessary adjustments. The production profile would block when deploying to production as a safety net.

Oh! Yes, of course! 😅

Thank you, @ErikEJ for the clarification.

Sorry, @dzsquared , yeah the proposal sounds good to me.

Alternatively, for the sake of consistency, perhaps it would be preferable to make it similar to the “Block…” parameters such as BlockOnPossibleDataLoss and BlockWhenDriftDetected.

So, something like /p:BlockOnTableRecreation, maybe?
