- Separate DDL and DML statements into different scripts (whenever possible)
- Test the scripts as much as you can ;-)
- When applying the scripts on a production database, first try to
rename the physical database file. If that succeeds, then you can
be sure that there are no active connections. Make an OS copy
of your renamed database file in case that your DDL scripts fails.
- Run the DDL script
- Run the DML script
