首先，你必须选择适合你的版本控制系统:

Centralized Version Control system - a standard system where users check out/check in before/after they work on files, and the files are being kept in a single central server Distributed Version Control system - a system where the repository is being cloned, and each clone is actually the full backup of the repository, so if any server crashes, then any cloned repository can be used to restore it After choosing the right system for your needs, you'll need to setup the repository which is the core of every version control system All this is explained in the following article: http://solutioncenter.apexsql.com/sql-server-source-control-part-i-understanding-source-control-basics/

在建立了存储库之后，如果有一个中央版本控制系统，那么就有一个工作文件夹，您可以阅读本文。它展示了如何在开发环境中使用以下命令来设置源代码控制:

通过MSSCCI提供的SQL Server Management Studio， Visual Studio和SQL Server数据工具 一个第三方工具ApexSQL源代码控制

你可能想看看Liquibase (http://www.liquibase.org/)。即使您不使用该工具本身，它也能很好地处理数据库变更管理或重构的概念。

每个推荐RedGate工具的人都要加1分，还有额外的建议和警告。

SqlCompare also has a decently documented API: so you can, for instance, write a console app which syncs your source controlled scripts folder with a CI integration testing database on checkin, so that when someone checks in a change to the schema from their scripts folder it's automatically deployed along with the matching application code change. This helps close the gap with developers who are forgetful about propagating changes in their local db up to a shared development DB (about half of us, I think :) ).

A caveat is that with a scripted solution or otherwise, the RedGate tools are sufficiently smooth that it's easy to forget about SQL realities underlying the abstraction. If you rename all the columns in a table, SqlCompare has no way to map the old columns to the new columns and will drop all the data in the table. It will generate warnings but I've seen people click past that. There's a general point here worth making, I think, that you can only automate DB versioning and upgrade so far - the abstractions are very leaky.

您还可以考虑迁移解决方案。它们允许您在c#代码中指定数据库模式，并使用MSBuild上下滚动数据库版本。

我目前正在使用DbUp，它工作得很好。

每个数据库都应该在源代码控制下。目前缺少的是一种工具，可以自动将所有数据库对象(以及“配置数据”)脚本化为文件，然后将其添加到任何源代码控制系统。如果你正在使用SQL Server，那么我的解决方案在这里:http://dbsourcetools.codeplex.com/。玩得开心。 -内森。

你没有提到任何关于目标环境或约束的细节，所以这可能并不完全适用……但如果您正在寻找一种有效跟踪不断变化的DB模式的方法，并且不反对使用Ruby, ActiveRecord的迁移正适合您。

迁移使用Ruby DSL以编程方式定义数据库转换;每个转换都可以应用或(通常)回滚，允许您在任何给定的时间点跳转到您的DB模式的不同版本。定义这些转换的文件可以像任何其他源代码一样检入版本控制。

因为迁移是ActiveRecord的一部分，它们通常在全栈Rails应用程序中使用;然而，你可以用最少的努力独立于Rails使用ActiveRecord。请参阅这里，了解在Rails之外使用AR迁移的更详细处理。
