We created a system for database changes so they are part of the continuous integration process. With each build, all the database patches are applied. It took some time to create a set of rules and processes for this, of course. At this point, it's worked well for several years and makes it so all databases are consistent. Whatever patches are run during development are the same as those released on production.
