    Hi,

    I can use something like SQL Compare which has been around for a while, has been thoroughly tested out by thousands of users, and probably does all (or almost all) this. Why should I spend my time on doing something which has been done before and works very well? Unless I am missing something, this sounds like reinventing the wheel. What am I missing?

    SQL Compare does not generate "rollback" scripts. The article was not about deployment scripts. It was about writing rollback scripts to undo the changes that SQL Compare would generate.

    SQL Compare absolutely does generate rollback scripts. I do just that every time I deploy: open up SQL Compare, generate deploy/rollback scripts, test them both out, check them in in Subversion etc.
