A project you can add to your Microsoft® Visual InterDev™ solution that provides you with a live connection to a database and that includes tools for managing and querying the database. You can use a database project to create and modify tables, columns, views, indexes, queries, and other database objects.
A database project can exist in the same solution as a Web project, and you can be working in both projects at the same time. However, the two types of projects are not connected - to add database functionality to your Web application, you make data connections separately from the Web application's project.
For more information about using the database tools with a database project, see the Microsoft® Visual Database Tools documentation.
