Visual Studio 2015 SQL Server Data Tools missing “Add Table” option

Question

I have added a localdb to my project and trying to add tables to it. But I could not see \'Add Table\' item on the menu, there are only \'Refresh\' and \'Properties\' items.

Answer 1

Instead of using "Server Explorer", use "View-->SQL Server Object Explorer".

Alternatively you could create an SSDT project, add your tables to the project and then deploy, that would be the correct way to do it! Ed
