title: How to load database project in VS2010 and VS2012?
body: <p>I recently switched to VS2012 from VS2010, when opening a database project I get below error</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Trunk\Database\Database.dbproj : error  : Internal Error. The database platform service with type Microsoft.Data.Schema.Sql.Sql100DatabaseSchemaProvider is not valid. You must make sure the service is loaded, or you must provide the full type name of a valid database platform service.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm guessing it might be the following line in the project file which it is choking on</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;DSP&gt;Microsoft.Data.Schema.Sql.Sql100DatabaseSchemaProvider&lt;/DSP&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or possibly this</p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\TeamData\Microsoft.Data.Schema.SqlTasks.targets" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any idea how to get past this error so I can load my project in VS2012?</p>
