You have a GitHub Actions workflow that builds and deploys an Azure SQL database. The schema is stored in a GitHub repository as an SDK-style SQL database project.
Following a code review, you discover that you need to generate a report that shows whether the production schema has diverged from the model in source control.
Which action should you add to the pipeline?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer
Microsoft documents that DriftReport creates an XML report showing changes that have been made to the registered database since it was last registered . That is the action intended to detect whether the production schema has diverged from the expected model baseline in your deployment workflow.
This is different from DeployReport , which shows the changes that would be made by a publish action . In other words:
* DriftReport answers: Has the deployed database drifted from the registered state/model?
* DeployReport answers: What changes would be applied if I published now?
The other options are not the right fit:
* Extract creates a DACPAC from an existing database, not a drift analysis report.
* Script generates a deployment script, not a schema-drift report.
So to generate a report that shows whether production has diverged from the model in source control , add:
SqlPackage.exe /Action:DriftReport
