Is there any tool that permits to know the changes you do to your SQL SERVER database( for example deleting one column) from its previous states?
I want the tool that it could tell me that from the previous state of database to the current state of it i have changed the type of the column for example.
It would be helpful if the tool can discard the changes.

You are looking for source or version control for a database.
Redgate has something, but I've not used it:

The Red Gate source control is great! I've used it and I love it. It is expensive, but if you can afford it, it is definitely worth it.

If you aren't looking for a SQL source control tool, you might be looking for a SQL schema diff/comparison tool. One of the most popular ones that I know of (which is also by RedGate) is called SQL Compare[^]. Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and Database editions have pretty good database comparison tools built in. There are also less feature-rich free tools like Open DBDiff[^] that you may want to try.
