    <p>In our project we have several production databases and many devs. Each production database represents some "sub-project/localization version". We use SQL Server 2008.</p> <p>So, I need to develop database versioning strategy using MS Visual Studio Database Project. I have read a lot of articles about database versioning and database projects, but I still have a lot of questions:</p> <ol> <li><p>How developers should implement theirs changes to db project? (Best practice)</p></li> <li><p>How to generate the 100% workable "latest version" deploy script without human intervention (skipping some objects, rewriting some changes, etc)?</p></li> <li><p>How to manage data changes with MS Visual Studio Database Project? I know about pre-/post-deploy scripts, but I think it cant resolve this problem. (Example: I need to remap some table into another).</p></li> </ol> <p>The "ideal solution" would be:</p> <ol> <li><p>Developers generates and maintains Database Project for database [ProductionDB].</p></li> <li><p>With new release I deploy Database Project to the [ProductionDB] with all necessary changes.</p></li> <li><p>Developers changes Database Project and writes some data manipulation scripts for concrete changes.</p></li> <li><p>With new release I deploy Database Project to the [ProductionDB] with all necessary changes.</p></li> </ol> <p>So, The final question: <strong>Is it posible to use Database Project for the purposes described above or somebody uses similar scenario/solution?</strong></p> <p>PS: I have already read following discussions:</p> <ol> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56903/database-changes-versioning-closed">Database changes versioning [closed]</a> </li> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/173/how-do-i-version-my-ms-sql-database-in-svn1.2.">How do I version my MS SQL database in SVN?</a></li> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2282191/looking-for-solution-for-database-versioning3.">Looking for solution for database versioning</a></li> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/308/is-there-a-version-control-system-for-database-structure-changes">Is there a version control system for database structure changes?</a></li> </ol>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
