The other option might be to keep the Billion as a mere modem+NAT+router, then stick something behind that to handle your internal LAN and WiFi etc. I do that with a DLink 2890AL acting solely as a moden+NAT (turned off WiFi, single LAN uplink). I then have a Cisco SG-300 L3 switch (does routing, switching etc.) to handle the core LAN functionality, and a (getting old now) DLink DAP2310 WAP from their “business range”. I’ve found that to be a lot more solid than relying on the “SOHO” all-in-one boxes, which just seem to get overloaded and fall over every so often. The SG-300 has a good web interface, as well as excellent doco. The DAP2310 not so much, but still easy to configure unless you’re going into the more advance functions (like VLANs) where the doco starts to get ambiguous.

For schema changes, we run a compare on the project and the dev database (assuming that is where the schema changes are) and create an upgrade script from that. For actual data changes to be applied, we create separate scripts in the sql project specifically for those. This seems to work pretty well for us. YMMV.

The reality is that I have found providing patch scripts for sql server quite problematic and have never been very happy about what we do to apply patch scripts. I want to know what scripts have been applied to a database, and I also want to know that scripts applied are transactional (that is, if a script "breaks" when applied, nothing has changed.) I also want to be able to add data to be inserted into tables to my scripts. What are people currently doing to solve these issues? Warm regards, Tony
