我所见过的最佳实践是创建一个构建脚本，在登台服务器上废弃并重新构建数据库。每次迭代都有一个用于数据库更改的文件夹，所有更改都用“Drop…创建“”。这样，您可以通过将构建指向您想要版本的文件夹，随时回滚到较早的版本。

我相信这是用NaNt/CruiseControl完成的。

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。

虽然这个问题有很多很好的答案，但大多数答案都不包括市场上的创新变化，特别是商业工具。

下面是一个简短的数据库版本控制工具列表，我列出了每个工具的优缺点(完全披露:我为DBmaestro工作)

红门——已经上市很多年了。它使用集成了基于文件的版本控制的脚本来提供数据库对象的版本控制。

DBVS——使用集成了基于文件的版本控制的脚本来提供数据库对象的版本控制。

DBmaestro——在真实的数据库对象上提供版本控制过程(签出/签入)的强制执行。因此，版本控制存储库是否与应用程序使用的数据库同步是没有问题的。

我鼓励您阅读资深数据库专家Ben Taylor在LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/article/20140907002729-287832-solve-database-change-mangement-with-dbmaestro上发布的关于数据库强制变更管理解决方案的全面、公正的评论

You should never just log in and start entering "ALTER TABLE" commands to change a production database. The project I'm on has database on every customer site, and so every change to the database is made in two places, a dump file that is used to create a new database on a new customer site, and an update file that is run on every update which checks your current database version number against the highest number in the file, and updates your database in place. So for instance, the last couple of updates:

if [ $VERSION \< '8.0.108' ] ; then
  psql -U cosuser $dbName << EOF8.0.108
    BEGIN TRANSACTION;
    --
    -- Remove foreign key that shouldn't have been there.
    -- PCR:35665
    --
    ALTER TABLE     migratorjobitems
    DROP CONSTRAINT migratorjobitems_destcmaid_fkey;
    -- 
    -- Increment the version
    UPDATE          sys_info
    SET             value = '8.0.108'
    WHERE           key = 'DB VERSION';
    END TRANSACTION;
EOF8.0.108
fi

if [ $VERSION \< '8.0.109' ] ; then
  psql -U cosuser $dbName << EOF8.0.109
    BEGIN TRANSACTION;
    --
    -- I missed a couple of cases when I changed the legacy playlist
    -- from reporting showplaylistidnum to playlistidnum
    --
    ALTER TABLE     featureidrequestkdcs
    DROP CONSTRAINT featureidrequestkdcs_cosfeatureid_fkey;
    ALTER TABLE     featureidrequestkdcs
    ADD CONSTRAINT  featureidrequestkdcs_cosfeatureid_fkey
    FOREIGN KEY     (cosfeatureid)
    REFERENCES      playlist(playlistidnum)
    ON DELETE       CASCADE;
    --
    ALTER TABLE     ticket_system_ids
    DROP CONSTRAINT ticket_system_ids_showplaylistidnum_fkey;
    ALTER TABLE     ticket_system_ids
    RENAME          showplaylistidnum
    TO              playlistidnum;
    ALTER TABLE     ticket_system_ids
    ADD CONSTRAINT  ticket_system_ids_playlistidnum_fkey
    FOREIGN KEY     (playlistidnum)
    REFERENCES      playlist(playlistidnum)
    ON DELETE       CASCADE;
    -- 
    -- Increment the version
    UPDATE          sys_info
    SET             value = '8.0.109'
    WHERE           key = 'DB VERSION';
    END TRANSACTION;
EOF8.0.109
fi

我相信有更好的方法来做到这一点，但到目前为止，它对我来说是有效的。

数据库本身?没有

创建它们的脚本，包括静态数据插入、存储过程等;当然可以。它们是文本文件，它们包含在项目中，像其他东西一样签入和签出。

当然，在理想情况下，您的数据库管理工具可以做到这一点;但你必须遵守纪律。

我相信每个DB都应该在源代码控制下，开发人员应该有一种简单的方法从头创建他们的本地数据库。受Visual Studio for Database Professionals的启发，我创建了一个开源工具，脚本MS SQL数据库，并提供了一种简单的方法将它们部署到您的本地DB引擎。试试http://dbsourcetools.codeplex.com/。玩得开心, -内森。
