How do you track your DB in source control?

So I finally put in a few minutes to get my latest project into source control, and it occurred to me that keeping up with differences in database schema (to say nothing of content) isn't handled with source control at all. I'd like to at least keep up with database structure in source control, though I suppose it isn't really 'source' at all.

I was thinking of just doing an export of my database structure, maybe one with just structure and one with data, and then keeping track of these files with SVN (picked SVN purely for career reasons, liked git better). Is that sensible?

How do you guys handle keeping up with your database structure and data, and ensuring it is backed up and revertable if something should go wrong? Seems silly to use such complex systems to manage source code yet fall back on tarballing for database backups.
