I would strongly recommend taking a look at the book [SQL Server Team-Based Development][1]. The tools it covers are somewhat out of date (it covers both Microsoft and Red Gate tools), but the concepts of managing your code in source control, automating deployment, and managing multiple copies of your database are very well covered within.
