Sql Build Manager is an Open Source project hosted on SourceForge.net. It arose from the need to manage updates to SQL server databases. Frustrated with running scripts manually one at a time, or using one long script only to have it fail half way through, I started building this tool to make organizing and running scripts easier.
Who uses Sql Build Manager?
 
Developers - as they make changes to their code, there are usually some database changes to support the new features. Development teams use the tool to add scripts to a release, maintain their run order and manage modifications. When ready to deploy, they can package them up deliver them
 
Managers - To ensure script quality and standards compliance, managers use the built in policy checking to ensure that the developers are adhering to the rules
 
Database Administrators- Getting the build package turned over from the developers, the DBA's can run the package in "trial" mode to ensure the scripts will run and/or just "push the button" to deploy the change to the target database
 
Auditors - using the the extensive logging and change tracking, auditors have no problem finding out "who did what, when and why"
