We release a version of our product quarterly -- some schema changes in each version. With this rapid release, we have to maintain mutiple migration paths -- currently maintained manually. Are there tools out there that would allow one to simplify this process of migrations? I imagine that that this tool could:
1. Compare schema diffs and generate scripts
2. Intelligently could make use of RI (etc.) so that data is loaded in the proper order
3. Allow for merging of data with historical data so that new ID's are generated -- still maintaing RI.
4. etc.

I know we aren't the first to encounter this. This is
rapidly becoming an FTE and is cost prohibiitive. Any
advice would be most appreciated.

Hi

Yes, this product http://www.ssw.com.au/ssw/SQLDeploy/ will do that

If you make sure your developers script all their changes this tool will keep a log of what scripts have been deployed against which databases.
