• Since DBPro/DataDude is a Visual Studio development tool it's not going to do anything automatically. If you are looking to monitor schema changes then you probably want something more like Idera SQL Change Manager. I have not used the product myself but I am planning on evaluating it and its competitors later this year for a possible purchase down the road.

    Disclosure #1: I do not and have never worked for Idera and am not affiliated with them in any way.

    Thanks Grant! I had skimmed those articles when they were first published but had forgotten about them. I will take a more detailed look this time and see if my meager beginnings are in line with your suggestions.

    Disclosure #2: I have nothing to declare but my variables (printed next to a customs logo on my favorite TechEd t-shirt courtesy of Red Gate)
