DMLs and SQL deployment manager + source control

Is there a way to version control DMLs using the SQL Source Control and deploy them through deployment manager?

Sorry, what do you mean by DMLs?

If you mean, static data in tables, SQL Source Control does support that.

You will need to generate a package of your database to be able to deploy it through Deployment Manager. The easiest way to generate a package of your database is through Deployment Manager SSMS Add-in. After installing it, you can right click a database in SSMS, follow the steps in the wizard and a package will be published to Deployment Manager. More info: http://documentation.red-gate.com/displ ... es+in+SSMS. You can then deploy the package from Deployment Manager web interface. This is one of the easier ways to start deploying databases with Deployment Manager.

You can of course automate the creation and publishing of database packages.

DMLs could be configuration (specific to environment or customer), or migration script. The tables may not be part of the static data.
