Hello.

Using SQL Server 2008. I'm developing on my local PC with a copy of
the DB that is contained on a web host. Is there a good way when I do
an alter table on the local DB to export that change to the web host
DB and have "semi-automatically" apply the change to its copy of the
table?

There are a number of ways to do this. A solution which is popular with
many is to use Red Gate's SQL Compare. Personally, I prefer to keep my
code under version control, so it is not really my solution, but the
tool as such work very well.
