Tools for automating database build and deployment

This was not my area of work, but in my present organization the team is working towards automating release process of database scripts and deployment.

I have never worked in this area before, so I thought if experts here could shed some light on which tools are used.

Thanking you for your time and help.

Regards,
Vijay Sehgal
