I know you are looking for free, but it looks like the other response
covers that in pretty good detail. If you want to buy some tools that
are easy on the company's pocketbook, I'd suggest taking a look at
RedGate's software package. Quest/Litespeed are defacto leader's I'd
say, however RedGate's array of tools are wonderful, as are the
prices.

You'll find tools to make your life quite a bit better. If you have
an MSDN license at work, take a look at Visual Studio Team Systems for
Database Professionals (out of breath after typing that one). You'll
find quite a bit of tools (schema compares, data compares, unit
testing, deployment methods, data generations, etc). It is a great
tool to help you with the deployment mechanisms.

Again I know you asked for free, so sorry to derail that part of it.
