How to understand database changes with automatically generated change scripts

When you need to deploy changes to your SQL Server database, how do you guarantee that they'll happen without any errors?

If you rely on hand-written scripts, it can take you hours to work out every change. Even then, it's hard to be certain there aren't any bugs.

It's even harder if you don't know exactly what changes have been made – if you're deploying changes for a colleague, or running someone else's deployment script, for example.

Redgate SQL Compare can do the hard work for you, letting you:

• Generate T-SQL deployment scripts at the click of a button
• See every change that will be made, right down individual lines of SQL
• Review all changes before you make them
• Prepare a complete deployment script that deals with all your database dependencies
• Filter out objects you don't want to deploy

It's the industry-standard tool for deploying SQL Server database changes, used by 71% of the Fortune 100, including News Corp, Johnson & Johnson, and JP Morgan.
