As the product manager of dbMaestro TeamWork, I can talk for long time on how our customers use traditiona softwaer change management as RTC, VSTS combine with TeamWork - database change management.
This is because traditional source control tools not perform at their best on database from several reasons:
• Database is a central resource, check-out an object and working on it is not on a local copy as it is in code.
• Having the create table statement in script, does not help when one needs to create the alter table command to change the table structure.
In addition to that, dbMaestro TeamWork can manage content for metadata tables, the same tables that hold the configuration of the system. This is difficult to achieve when the DBA should prepare and change the initialization script (change insert command to update, since in previous version it was new parameter and in current version the default value of it changed).
There are many more differences between having traditional source control tools managing database objects and using a product that specialized in this arena.
