Have any of you guys found a good SQL Diff tool?  Let me rephrase that: a good, open-source one?  I've used Apex and Red Gate, and both work fine, but are a bit expensive for a small developer.

If not a diff tool, then some sort of SQL script or tool that you use to merge DB changes?

 

Cheers,

Lance

I like that process for just pushing up raw modules but what do you do if you actually have records that go with it. 

You can use Content Templates:

or use IPortable in your modules:

IPortable: Easily export content from your module to
deploy on your production server (VB &C#)

Our development and production environment uses 4 servers (Dev/Unit, Integration, Acceptance, Production),  and figuring out how to deploy was a bit tricky. In the end we simply zipped up the entire DNN instance and copy/pasted it to the new server. Then we edit the configuration files to point to the correct database ...as we have several of those as well.

As SCM for my company, I to wish there was an easier way. Some of the things we will be looking at soon are:

  1. XMLMerge
  2. IPortable
  3. Microsoft's new website deployment and syncronization tool: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/346/microsoft-web-deployment-tool/
