我总是检查我的数据库结构转储到源代码控制。全数据库转储，但我通常只是压缩和存储。

是的，我们通过保留SQL作为构建的一部分来做到这一点——我们保留DROP。sql,创造。sql,用户。sql,值。SQL和版本控制，所以我们可以恢复到任何带标签的版本。

我们还有ant任务，可以在需要时重新创建db。

此外，SQL还被标记为与之配套的源代码。

我使用SQL CREATE脚本从MySQL workbench导出，然后使用他们的“导出SQL ALTER”功能，我最终得到了一系列创建脚本(当然编号)和ALTER脚本，可以应用它们之间的更改。

3.- Export SQL ALTER script Normally you would have to write the ALTER TABLE statements by hand now, reflecting your changes you made to the model. But you can be smart and let Workbench do the hard work for you. Simply select File -> Export -> Forward Engineer SQL ALTER Script… from the main menu. This will prompt you to specify the SQL CREATE file the current model should be compared to. Select the SQL CREATE script from step 1. The tool will then generate the ALTER TABLE script for you and you can execute this script against your database to bring it up to date. You can do this using the MySQL Query Browser or the mysql client.Voila! Your model and database have now been synchronized!

当然，所有这些脚本都在版本控制下。

Sadly, I've seen more than one team developing PL/SQL programs (stored procedures in Oracle) - sometimes ten thousands LOC - just by editing the code in TOAD (a database tool), without even saving the source to files (except for deployment). Even if the database is backuped regulary (wouldn't take that for granted, though), the only way to retrieve an old version of a stored procedure is to restore the whole database, which is many GB large. And of course sometimes concurrent changes in one file lead to loss of work, when more than one developer works on the same project.

我已经使用RedGate SQL Compare Pro与脚本文件夹进行模式同步，然后我将所有更新提交给版本控制。效果很好。
