I have a database project that goes through iterations (only one so far) and I need to deploy a testing version to a live server. I'm not sure how to go about this.

I can make all the changes in a copy and then remake those changes in the live version. That doesn't make sense.

Is there a way to change a server name to an existing server? What's the best practice for this scenario?
