How to generate deployment scripts safely and accurately

If you or your team ever deploy changes to a live SQL Server, you know how nerve-wracking it is.

Even with the best hand-written deployment script, it's easy for mistakes to creep in.

What if the script fails because it doesn't cover all the dependencies in your database? Or what if unexpected changes make you lose important data?

Once these problems hit your production database, they're a nightmare to fix – especially when the clock's ticking.

So what's the alternative?
