Database version management.

  • We have a database which is under

    constant development in our lab environment.

    We have multiple production environments which

    are running different version of our database.

    Currently production database version updates

    are done manually.

    Is there a tool for tracking database

    changes (new table, new sp, modify table, etc)

    and managing different versions of databases

    for SQL Server 2000?

    All ideas and comments on database version

    management are greatly appreciated!

  • I built my own (/columnists/sjones/vcspart1.asp).

    There are products from Embarkadero, CA, etc. that can help. Search the forums for version control.

  • SQL Compare won't track changes, but it'll do the scripting and show you the differences. It can then script to get 'em in sync. This is great to handle differences.

    Here's the web site: http://ww.red-gate.com/

    I will say that as far as tracking changes, we do something similar to what Steve has documented in his article. SQL Compare will help you get databases back in sync, but it will not do change control.
