Create project

Creates a new project in the organization. Supply name, abbreviation, description, source control type (Git or Tfvc), and visibility (private or public). The project is created asynchronously; poll or refresh to see it in the list. Requires appropriate organization permissions.

Standard SQL query example

This is the base query accepted by the connector. To execute it in SQL Server, you have to pass it to the Data Gateway via a Linked Server. See how to accomplish this using the examples below.

INSERT INTO Projects (Name, Abbreviation, Description, SourceControlType, Visibility)
VALUES
('My New Project', 'MNP',
'The system we use for implementing point-of-service walk-in payment systems.',
'Git', 'private')

Using OPENQUERY in SQL Server

SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([LS_TO_AZURE_DEVOPS_IN_GATEWAY], 'INSERT INTO Projects (Name, Abbreviation, Description, SourceControlType, Visibility)
VALUES
(''My New Project'', ''MNP'',
''The system we use for implementing point-of-service walk-in payment systems.'',
''Git'', ''private'')')

Using EXEC in SQL Server (handling larger SQL text)

The major drawback of OPENQUERY is its inability to incorporate variables within SQL statements. This often leads to the use of cumbersome dynamic SQL (with numerous ticks and escape characters).

Fortunately, starting with SQL 2005 and onwards, you can utilize the EXEC (your_sql) AT [LS_TO_AZURE_DEVOPS_IN_GATEWAY] syntax.

DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'INSERT INTO Projects (Name, Abbreviation, Description, SourceControlType, Visibility)
VALUES
(''My New Project'', ''MNP'',
''The system we use for implementing point-of-service walk-in payment systems.'',
''Git'', ''private'')'
EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_AZURE_DEVOPS_IN_GATEWAY]
