Hi all!,
I am supposed to version the databases.Currently I am taking the scripts of the database and versioning them using VSS.
I wanted to know what is the general practice of versioning the databases.
regards,
harshal.

You can also script the dtabases for SourceSafe via a scheduled job

Haven't done the bit to automatically add the updates to SourceSafe yet but it's not difficult to do it manually.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

currently the versioning was done only during the release the whole database script is added to the VSS and is updated only during the next release.
But this method looks very interesting.
I think I'll have to discuss this with PM and give it a try.
