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。

对于oracle，我使用自己编写的java程序oracle-ddl2svn自动跟踪oracle DDL方案在SVN中的变化

这对我来说也一直是一个很大的烦恼——似乎对开发数据库进行快速更改，保存它(忘记保存更改脚本)太容易了，然后你就卡在那里了。您可以撤消刚才所做的并重新做它以创建更改脚本，当然，如果您愿意的话，也可以从头开始编写它，尽管这将花费大量的时间来编写脚本。

A tool that I have used in the past that has helped with this some is SQL Delta. It will show you the differences between two databases (SQL server/Oracle I believe) and generate all the change scripts necessary to migrate A->B. Another nice thing it does is show all the differences between database content between the production (or test) DB and your development DB. Since more and more apps store configuration and state that is crucial to their execution in database tables, it can be a real pain to have change scripts that remove, add, and alter the proper rows. SQL Delta shows the rows in the database just like they would look in a Diff tool - changed, added, deleted.

一个很好的工具。以下是链接: http://www.sqldelta.com/

RedGate很棒，当数据库发生变化时，我们会生成新的快照(一个小的二进制文件)，并将该文件作为资源保存在项目中。每当我们需要更新数据库时，我们使用RedGate的工具包来更新数据库，并且能够从空数据库创建新的数据库。

RedGate也制作数据快照，虽然我个人没有使用过，但它们同样强大。

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。

我们有一个每周的sql转储到一个颠覆回购。这是完全自动化的，但这是一项非常繁重的任务。

你会想要限制修改的数量，因为它真的会在一段时间后消耗磁盘空间!
