Putting a database under version control

[motin_]

Anyone heard of a good solution in having a database under version control or similar? I use version control in web development, and it would be of great ease to be able to "check-out" a database patch-file that would update my local database with the repository's database.

Any help appreciated!

I keep the SQL scripts I use to create and populate my test databases under version control, so your database patch files might consist of the SQL statements used to modify your database.

Do you know of any way to do this more or less automatically? I am using a GUI to alter my db.
