Database Change Management brings the concepts and benefits from Software Change Management methodology into the database development environment. Among those benefits: Faster development time, Reduced development and errors stemming from overwritten code, Increased visibility to development history and current status, and Reduced overhead time synchronize integration environment
Traditional SCM solutions are excellent in managing native code, documents, testing documents and results, and managing development tasks. However, many applications have major parts of the application within the database and therefore outside the control of traditional SCM tools.
One of the guiding principles of the SCM methodology is that all application components must be under change management and all changes, whether code or database, must be documented. Therefore, when database changes are not covered – the SCM coverage is not complete and the system’s integrity can potentially be compromised.
dbMaestro TeamWork for Oracle™ allows customers to have their Oracle database changes managed and documented as well as correlate database changes to the underlying business requirements, allowing the deployment of select features of your application with both database and code components.
