A command-line tool to implement an incremental database version update strategy is also available here : www.tewari.info/.../dbupdater

Hi Jeff,

I am looking at it, however it's not a good name. Reminds me of "Quentin Tarantino" who made nothing but horror films :)

How much is it dependent on NAnt? Is there some MsBuild support comming?

@Krzysztof,

It is very much coupled to NAnt. There is not MSBuild support planned, but if you'd like to contribute that patch, I'm sure it would only be a single C# class to write.

@Krzysztof - the msbuild implementation would be trivial to implement.

This is the only file that references Nant for the migration project

tarantino.googlecode.com/.../ManageSqlDataba

As you will see there is only a single line that is used to call into the migration code,

manager.Upgrade(ScriptDirectory.FullName, Server, Database, IntegratedAuthentication, Username, Password, Action, this);

The rest is code to manage Nants requirements for passing data to the task.

How do you deal with branching and merging? We use a similar database change management strategy using private dev databases, incremental change scripts and continuous integration. However, branching and merging has always been one of those things that ends up being a real pain. Any insights?
