Implements a new "unpack" command line option that extracts SQL schema files from DACPAC files, following the same pattern as the existing import command. This addresses issue requirements to add unpack functionality using the DacService.Unpack method.

Changes

DacFXTool Command Line Interface:

  • Added unpack command: DacFXTool unpack <dacpac-file> <output-directory>
  • Uses Microsoft.SqlServer.Dac.DacServices.Unpack() static method as specified in Microsoft documentation
  • Includes proper file validation with clear error messages for missing or invalid DACPAC files
  • Automatically creates output directory structure

DacFXToolLib Library:

  • New DacPackageUnpacker class that encapsulates the unpack logic
  • Follows the same architectural pattern as the existing DatabaseExtractor class
  • Handles DACPAC loading and unpacking with appropriate error handling

Usage

Command Line:

DacFXTool unpack MyDatabase.dacpac ./OutputFolder

The implementation maintains consistency with existing code patterns and provides a programmatic interface for unpacking DACPAC files. Visual Studio extension integration is handled separately in another PR.

Fixes #21
