I have two databses on a SQL Server -- one for development (call it "TestData"), and one for production (call it "LiveData"). I make changes to TestData -- typically adding tables or adding new fields to existing tables (rarely dropping anything) and creating
or modifying Stored Procedures. At some point, I would like to update the LiveData tables, stored procedures, etc. with the changes made to TestData. I only want this to affect the schema, not the actual data. What is the best way to do this?
I am new to SQL Server, so the more detailed the explanation, the better.
edit: I know there are third-party programs out there, but I'm looking into ways to do this without a separate software, just using scripts, etc.
