Re: Source Control for Database Aspect

This guy has a VBScript that automates the scripting and versioning of
databases with VSS. It could probably be easily adapted.

Personally, I'd rather only script a known "good" version and rely on
database backups for catastrophes involving the database. This is
because SQL Scripts, unlike code can't be on the server unless they
actually compile.
