I see what proposed in the article is an overkill most of time in SQL2K5 EE. For DB side rollback, is there anything better/quicker than the database snapshot? i.e. Do a db snapshot before the deployment, and if anything goes wrong, and you need to research, compare with the snapshot db, or if you want to rollback, rollback with the snapshot db.

Just my two cents... 🙂
