I didn't know where else to post this question so forgive me if this
is the wrong place.  I'm looking for a tool/tools to help with schema
changes in SQL 2000.  I was wondering if I could get the groups
experiences with various tools.  Here are a few I am looking at

We are not using VSS or SQL 2005 yet, so I am not looking at those for
Options.

Quest Change Director
SwisSQL DataChangeManager
RedGate SqlCompare
PCWIN SQLDBCompare


TIA!

You don't say what kind of changes you are looking for help on. You don't
need any tools to make changes to the database other than Enterprise Manager
or Query Analyzer.  So what exactly do you need these tools to do for you?

Sorry about that.  I am looking for something that will help with
version control, and moving Schema changes across servers that can
have some sort of audit trail, and the ability to roll back changes if
need be.

Thanks!

David,

Well SQL Compare from Red-Gate ( www.red-gate.com) does an excellent job at
comparing dbs and generating scripts. You can use the scripts with source
control as well. DBGhost (http://www.dbghost.com/) claims better source
control features but I haven't used it so I can't say any more than that.
Both will generate scripts that can be rolled back.
