每个推荐RedGate工具的人都要加1分，还有额外的建议和警告。

SqlCompare also has a decently documented API: so you can, for instance, write a console app which syncs your source controlled scripts folder with a CI integration testing database on checkin, so that when someone checks in a change to the schema from their scripts folder it's automatically deployed along with the matching application code change. This helps close the gap with developers who are forgetful about propagating changes in their local db up to a shared development DB (about half of us, I think :) ).

A caveat is that with a scripted solution or otherwise, the RedGate tools are sufficiently smooth that it's easy to forget about SQL realities underlying the abstraction. If you rename all the columns in a table, SqlCompare has no way to map the old columns to the new columns and will drop all the data in the table. It will generate warnings but I've seen people click past that. There's a general point here worth making, I think, that you can only automate DB versioning and upgrade so far - the abstractions are very leaky.

你可能想看看Liquibase (http://www.liquibase.org/)。即使您不使用该工具本身，它也能很好地处理数据库变更管理或重构的概念。

我写了这个应用程序一段时间前，http://sqlschemasourcectrl.codeplex.com/，它会扫描你的MSFT SQL db的经常你想，并自动转储你的对象(表，视图，procs，函数，SQL设置)到SVN。效果非常好。我把它和unduddle一起使用(它可以让我在签到时收到提醒)

这是一个非常古老的问题，然而，许多人甚至现在都在试图解决这个问题。他们所要做的就是研究Visual Studio数据库项目。没有这一点，任何数据库开发看起来都很薄弱。从代码组织到部署再到版本控制，它简化了一切。

我还使用了数据库中通过数据库扩展属性家族存储的一个版本的过程。我的应用程序有脚本的每个版本的步骤(即。从1.1移动到1.2)。部署时，它会查看当前版本，然后逐个运行脚本，直到到达最后一个应用程序版本。没有脚本有直接的“最终”版本，即使部署在干净的DB上也会通过一系列升级步骤进行部署。

Now what I like to add is that I've seen two days ago a presentation on the MS campus about the new and upcoming VS DB edition. The presentation was focused specifically on this topic and I was blown out of the water. You should definitely check it out, the new facilities are focused on keeping schema definition in T-SQL scripts (CREATEs), a runtime delta engine to compare deployment schema with defined schema and doing the delta ALTERs and integration with source code integration, up to and including MSBUILD continuous integration for automated build drops. The drop will contain a new file type, the .dbschema files, that can be taken to the deployment site and a command line tool can do the actual 'deltas' and run the deployment. I have a blog entry on this topic with links to the VSDE downloads, you should check them out: http://rusanu.com/2009/05/15/version-control-and-your-database/

我们刚刚开始使用Team Foundation Server。如果你的数据库是中等大小的，那么visual studio有一些很好的项目集成，内置比较、数据比较、数据库重构工具、数据库测试框架，甚至数据生成工具。

但是，该模型并不适合非常大的或第三方数据库(加密对象)。我们所做的就是只存储我们定制的对象。Visual Studio / Team基础服务器在这方面工作得很好。
