Database migrations for SQL Server

Question

I need a database migration framework for SQL Server, capable of managing both schema changes and data migrations.

I guess I am looking for something similar to django's South framework here.

Given the fact that South is tightly coupled with django's ORM, and the fact that there's so many ORMs for SQL Server I guess having just a generic migration framework, enabling you to write and execute in controlled and sequential manner SQL data/schema change scripts should be sufficient.

Answer 1

You could take a look at Wizardby (open source)

Answer 2

Perhaps Liquibase or dbdeploy meets your needs? I've also heard good things about RedGate.

Answer 3

Redgate's migrations solution in Visual Studio is ReadyRoll.

Our SSMS-based solution is SQL Source Control.
