I'm in a code distribution nightmare and there's no sign of it getting better. Right now we have new software in development. I have a development database, system test database, 2 UAT databases, a performance database a production database and a failover database. After launch there are 3 more environments coming online for pre release testing. While I do use source safe for my table and stored procedure objects, it's not helping me manage versions. It's a version control nightmare right now trying to manage what is on what server. If I have to update code, it's a pain and very easy to forget one, which of course, companies love when you get defects because of that. Does anyone know of a product to make their version control life easier with SQL? I'd love to hear the good and the bad so I can do some more research. Thanks.

Have a look at Red Gate's SQL bundle: SQL Compare, SQL Data Compare, and DTS Compare. We've been using it for sometime and I now wouldn't be without it!
