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 which also uses 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)

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.

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<AppDbContext>(opt => opt.UseSqlServer(connectionString));
    var serviceProvider = services.BuildServiceProvider();
    var appDbContext = serviceProvider.GetService<AppDbContext>();
    appDbContext.Database.Migrate();
    //...
}
