A big problem, often overlooked, is that for larger web based systems, it is required to have a transitional period or bucket testing approach to making new releases. This makes it essential to have both rollback and a mechanism for supporting both the old and new schema in the same DB. This requires a scaffolding approach (made populist by the Agile DB folks). In this scenario, lack of process in DB source control can be a total disaster. You need old schema scripts, new schema scripts and a set of intermediate scripts, as well as a tidy up, once the system is fully on the new version (or rolled back).

需要的不是从头开始重新创建模式的脚本，而是一种基于状态的方法，在这种方法中，您只需要脚本将DB从一个版本移动到另一个版本，向前或向后移动到所需的状态。您的DB变成了一系列状态脚本，可以轻松地对其进行源代码控制，并与源代码的其余部分一起标记。

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。

RedGate软件提供了一些很棒的工具，可以帮助你对数据库进行版本化。确保让开发者为开发工作构建自己的独立本地数据库，而不是依赖于“开发服务器”，因为“开发服务器”有时可能停机，有时也可能不停机。

I agree with many of the posting concerning ruby's ActiveRecord migrations - they are an elegant way to manage the database in small incremental files that everyone can share. With that said, I've recently implemented a project using VisualStudio's Database Project, and it's kinda made me a believer. Short story - you create a database project, import all (if any) existing database objects into it (tables/views/triggers/keys/users/etc). That import results in a "Create" script per object. To manage the database you alter the create script and then on deploy VS compares the target database to the state of the database residing in your project and apply the proper alter statements.

这真的有点神奇，我必须承认，这是VS团队做的更好的事情之一。到目前为止，我真的很感动。

当然，您可以在自己选择的版本控制系统中管理整个数据库项目。

The most successful scheme I've ever used on a project has combined backups and differential SQL files. Basically we would take a backup of our db after every release and do an SQL dump so that we could create a blank schema from scratch if we needed to as well. Then anytime you needed to make a change to the DB you would add an alter scrip to the sql directory under version control. We would always prefix a sequence number or date to the file name so the first change would be something like 01_add_created_on_column.sql, and the next script would be 02_added_customers_index. Our CI machine would check for these and run them sequentially on a fresh copy of the db that had been restored from the backup.

我们还准备了一些脚本，开发人员可以用一个命令将本地db重新初始化到当前版本。
