Frequently Asked Questions

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

In response to a consistent stream of questions concerning functionality, integration and other key aspects of the dbMaestro TeamWork solution, we have recently published and made available on the website, a comprehensive FAQ.  This FAQ can answer questions ranging from “Who needs dbMaestro?” to “How can I test drive dbMaestro TeamWork? Is there an easy way to do this?”.  Each question has a detailed answer along with links to additional information and resources.  We believe that this will provide a great opportunity for prospects and other interested parties to go a level deeper in the self-discovery process – something that has become a key focus for buyers of technology and is always at the forefront of our overall approach to enabling the Sales 2.0 buying process. 

If there are questions that you have that are not a part of our existing FAQ, please feel free to send them through to us at info@dbMaestro.com and we will respond immediately and, if appropriate, add to the existing FAQ.

Enjoy !

TeamWork 2.6.0 has been released!

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

We are very happy to release the new dbMaestro Teamwork™ Add-in for Microsoft  Visual Studio 2008  – Working on databases from within visual studio has never been easier: a new panel is added to your visual studio, enabling you to perform all of your change management activities, such as check in & out, view history, or rollback your database objects; as well as just double click objects and edit them using ODAC editors.

Add-in for Visual Studio 2010 will be release once VS2010 goes out of beta…

I am also very proud of our improved internal references mechanism, as it has enabled us to achieve zero footprint at the database managed schema, which is, quite obviously, very important. All information and policy enforcement mechanism parts, are now located inside dbMaestro’s own schema, invisible to the development and deployment cycles.

We also added the much requested command line interface, which enables batch check-in/check-out/save version/deployment operations to be automated with a scripting interface.

And finally, improved integration with Rational Team Concert and Microsoft TFS  – now supporting queries for selecting work items, and updating work items status changes, when performing check-in in TeamWork. TeamWork check-in comments are now added to linked Microsoft TFS work items history.

Next release, TeamWork V2.7, is due beginning of march 2010. Follow this blog for more information about it.
