CLR Deployment Fails

This drove me mad!

I was getting this error:-

Deploy error SQL01268: .Net SqlClient Data Provider: Msg 325, Level 15, State 1, 
Procedure 'procedurename', Line 5 Incorrect syntax near 'EXTERNAL'. 
You may need to set the compatibility level of the current database to a higher value
to enable this feature. See help for the SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL option of ALTER DATABASE.

Changed everything one at a time and eventually found the solution.

Check your compatibility level in your SQL Database

sp_dbcmptlevel 'thedatabasename' 

In my case I found that it was set to 80.

To solve this, it should be 90 or above.

sp_dbcmptlevel 'thedatabasename', 90

Fixed and deployed!
