RoundhousE is an automated database deployment (change management) system that allows you to use your current idioms and gain much more.
It seeks to solve both maintenance concerns and ease of deployment. We follow some of the same idioms as other database management systems (SQL scripts), but we are different in that we think about future maintenance concerns. We want to always apply certain scripts (anything stateless like functions, views, stored procedures, and permissions), so we don’t have to throw everything into our change scripts. This seeks to solves future source control concerns.
We also subscribe to the idea of versioning your database how you want. Version it using the same version as your code base by pointing RH to one of your DLLs. Version it however you want by passing it an xml file and telling it the xpath to the version. Version it based on source control revisions. How sweet is it when you can version the database according to your current source control version?
RoundhousE is a database migrations engine that uses plain old SQL Scripts to transition a database from one version to another. RoundhousE currently works with Oracle, SQL Server (2000/2005/2008/Express), Access, MySQL, and soon SQLite and PostgreSQL. It comes in the form of a tool, MSBuild, and an embeddable DLL. While someone is working on a GUI, there is no visual tool at the current time.
See Features to learn what separates RoundhousE from other migration frameworks.

RoundhousE documentation definitely needs some love. With each release is a fully functioning sample for SQL Server. It shows off many of the features of RH. You can also see here for any updates: http://projectroundhouse.org
