There are many important steps that must be followed when working within a database version control solution. But, perhaps one of the most critical activities is the management of table content.
In many cases, the content of a parameter, lookup, or metadata table will have a profound impact on the behavior and performance of the application being developed. When altering any of those objects as part of a version update, developers must treat those modifications in the same way they would any other changes to code or database structure.
Yet, many developers keep a complete set of updates for other objects, but fail to do the same for the relevant data changes. This often leads to bugs and other malfunctions that can result in downtime.
dbMaestro TeamWork™, our innovative change management software, helps developers overcome this challenge by allowing them to define which tables are crucial to application behavior. TeamWork’s comprehensive content management capabilities will then be automatically applied only to those specified tables.
From then on, developers will be required to “check-out” and “check-in” table content, in order to change the values of the data within that table (i.e. insert, update, delete, etc.). As a result, they can leverage truly complete Oracle change management, with the ability to recreate tables when needed for debug, crisis recovery, investigation of changes, and more.
