Redgate is hosting a 1 day public workshop on April 22, 2015. This workshop will teach you how to put a database in source control, deploy a database from source control, and monitor database changes across development, testing, and production environments.
In order to automate the delivery of an application together with its database, you probably just need the extra database tools that allow you to continue with your current source control system and release management system by integrating the database into it. If you're using the Microsoft stack, then Redgate's tools can help with some of the difficult database parts of the process, as Jason Crease demonstrates.
