Here is a sample poor man's solution for a trigger implementing tracking of changes on db objects ( via DDL stateements ) on a sql server 2005 / 2008 database. I contains also a simple sample of how-to enforce the usage of required someValue xml tag in the source code for each sql command ran on the database + the tracking of the current db version and type ( dev , test , qa , fb , prod) One could extend it with additional required attributes such as , etc. The code is rather long - it creates the empty database + the needed tracking table structure + required db functions and the populating trigger all running under a [ga] schema.

是的……我们的数据库是在ERwin中设计的，每个版本的ddl是自动生成的。ERwin文件保存在我们的源代码控制系统中(实际上，我们的工程文档也是如此)。

我通常为我所做的每一个更改构建一个SQL脚本，另一个用于恢复这些更改，并将这些脚本置于版本控制之下。

这样我们就可以根据需要创建一个新的最新数据库，并且可以轻松地在不同版本之间切换。每次我们发布版本时，我们都会把脚本放在一起(需要一些手工工作，但实际上很少困难)，所以我们也有一组可以在版本之间转换的脚本。

是的，在你说之前，这与Rails和其他东西非常相似，但它似乎工作得很好，所以我毫不犹豫地承认我无耻地提出了这个想法:)

作为一种规则，我们将所有的对象代码(存储过程、视图、触发器、函数等)都保存在源代码控制中，因为这些对象都是代码，而且几乎所有其他答案都同意，代码属于某种形式的版本控制系统。

As for CREATE, DROP, ALTER statements, etc. (DDL), we developed and use BuildMaster to manage the deployment of these scripts such that they can be run once and only once against a target database (whether they fail or not). The general idea is that developers will upload change scripts into the system and when it comes time for deployment, only the change scripts that haven't been run against the target environment's database will be run (this is managed very similarly to Autocracy's answer). The reason for this separation of script types lies in that once you manipulate a table's structure, add an index, etc., you effectively cannot undo that without writing a brand new script, or restoring the database - as opposed to the object code where you can simply drop a view or stored procedure then recreate it.

例如，当您将生产数据库恢复到集成环境中时，可以看到一些好处，系统会自动准确地知道哪些脚本没有运行，并将更改新恢复的数据库的表结构，使其与开发相关。

哇，这么多答案。对于可靠的数据库版本控制，您需要对更改数据库的代码进行版本控制。一些CMS提供配置管理工具，比如Drupal 8中的配置管理工具。以下是一个实用步骤的概述，可以安排您的工作流并确保数据库配置是版本化的，即使是在团队环境中:

我使用ActiveRecord Migrations。这个Ruby gem可以在Rails项目之外使用，并且有适配器可以处理您遇到的大多数数据库。我的建议:如果你能够在Postgres上运行你的项目，你就会得到事务性的模式迁移。这意味着如果迁移只应用了一半，您不会最终得到一个损坏的数据库。
