# SqlInMemory

**SqlInMemory** is a library for creating SqlServer database on **Memory** instead of hard disk, at last **Drops and Disposes** database when you're done with it. This is useful for **Integration Testing**.

**Note : This library uses [RamDisk](https://github.com/mjebrahimi/RamDisk) which also uses [ImDisk](http://www.ltr-data.se/opencode.html/#ImDisk) in the backend for creating virtual disk drive. Therefore you have to install imdisk first. ([Download link of current stable version 2.0.10](http://www.ltr-data.se/files/imdiskinst.exe))**

## Get Started

### 1. Install Package

```

PM> Install-Package SqlInMemory

```

### 2. Use it

Pass your connection string and it will create (mount) a virtual disk drive 'Z' and create database there finaly when disposed, drop database and unmount drive.

```csharp

var connectionString = "Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=TestDb;Integrated Security=true";

using (SqlInMemoryDb.Create(connectionString))

{

    //Use database using ADO.NET or ORM

    //For example using EF Core

    services.AddDbContext(opt => opt.UseSqlServer(connectionString));

    var serviceProvider = services.BuildServiceProvider();

    var appDbContext = serviceProvider.GetService();

    appDbContext.Database.Migrate();

    //...

}

```
