Is there something like ActiveRecord::Migration for .NET?

Question

I've played around with ruby on rails' ActiveRecord::Migration class and I like how easy it is to keep database schemas versioned. I want to do something similar in my ASP.NET project and I'm wondering if anyone has heard of a tool that does what ActiveRecord::Migration does but for .NET.

I don't see the need of defining my SQL scripts in C# or ruby code, I just want to write SQL. But is there a tool that manages SQL scripts and keeps track of what scripts you need to run to get in sync?

Answer 1

migratordotnet is a database versioning system much like Ruby on Rail's Migrations. Its purpose is to automate your database changes, and help keep those changes in sync throughout your environments.

Answer 2

Here's one that focuses on cross database compatibility: https://github.com/dradovic/MigSharp/wiki/Feature-Overview

Write your migration once, and let them run on different platforms.
