Bundle SQL Deploy when you distribute a new version of your application to clients and all your database changes will happen automatically. Simply save database changes from Enterprise Manager, SQL Analyser or Visual Studio .NET as scripts (as most developers already do) and this utility enables automatic data version upgrades.
