TeamWork 3.0 has been released!
We are proud to announce that a new version of dbMaestro Teamwork™, the leading Database Change Management Solution for Oracle is GA and can be downloaded. This new release exposes many new cool features, such as:
- Allowing to integrate business logic within the automatically generated deploy script. You can read more on this here.
- Allowing deploying multiple schemas at once. dbMaestro TeamWork will create the deploy script(s) based on the objects dependencies even if they from different schemas.
- Adding Labels on Modules. Labels can be used to name a specific revision of specific objects for later reference instead of saving the entire schema snapshot.
- Major performance improvement across the product
Additional fixes in the new version include:
- The internal schema (dbMaestro_teamwork) in the managed database was not refreshed when there was only one schema under TeamWork control.
- Removing the dependency on Oracle User SID.
- Data deployment script is based on tables dependencies.
- Identifying changes of unique and non-unique indexes.
- Known Issue: Add-In will not start when using ODAC 10g on 64bit. Click to see the solution.
- Known Issue: Special characters in Table name.

We are proud to release a new version of dbMaestro Teamwork™. Some of the exciting new features include:
- Added an internal security mechanism – Access Roles, which enables the administrator to set permissions on object types and action to a specific user within a specific project.

TeamWork 2.7.3 has been released!
We are very happy to release a new version of dbMaestro Teamwork™. The interesting features released recently are:
- Extending the tables content managing. Before this version only content of tables with a primary key could have been managed. With this new release, tables content with unique indexes or unique constraints and without a primary key can also been managed.
- Adding Visual Studio 2010 add-in.
- Adding “Freeze development” that has been discussed here.
- The new multi-schema login support enables users to login to several schemas at the same time, and quickly browse through them when working on large multi-schema projects, or when deploying changes between managed environments.
- Other improvements include extended linkage to SCMs – now enabling linkage of schema versions to SCM labels, and allowing change-sets to be re-linked or altered, by privileged users.
Additional fixes that entered into the versions are:
- Failed to add new column with default value when the schema was in Integration Mode.
- Deployment Manager support CLOB columns with CLOB_EMPTY() instead of NULLs.

Well, 2.7.1 is a small release, mainly due to the fact that we promised to support Visual Studio 2010, as soon as it will be released. So we did…
A new feature that worked itself into this release is the “Freeze development” that has been discussed here last month, and provided some good feedback. As it was easy enough to provide, and gave real benefit to several of our customers – we decided to quickly make this one available.
We also fixed some minor glitches in the installation, and made sure everything is as clear as possible.
Adding this, somewhat unscheduled release, has moved the 2.8 release in a couple of weeks, so expect this on mid June.

We are very happy to release a new version of dbMaestro Teamwork™. Two of the more interesting features in this release are a new Compare & Merge user interface and a multi-schema login support.
The new Compare & Merge user interface enables developers and DBAs to analyze coding changes with great ease, and have all of the required information– source code, destination and baseline, available at a glance. The new merge engine is capable of performing auto merges, and deal with complex conflicts with unparallel results – instead of typing and copy-pasting, just click “resolve conflict” and get it done !
The new multi-schema login support enables users to login to several schemas at the same time, and quickly browse through them when working on large multi-schema projects, or when deploying changes between managed environments.
Other improvements include extended linkage to SCMs – now enabling linkage of schema versions to SCM labels, and allowing change-sets to be re-linked or altered, by privileged users.
Next release, TeamWork V2.8, is due at the end of May 2010. Follow this blog for more information about it.

We are very pleased to be able to announce the immediate availability of our integration with Microsoft’s Visual Studio Team System (VSTS). This is a key deliverable for us and one that finally provides VSTS customers with the ability to track database modifications in tandem with application source code changes. Extending software configuration management (SCM) capabilities to the database is our core focus and being able to provide integration directly into management systems like VSTS is critical to our customers and our long term success. With this announcement, we are now able to provide direct integration into IBM Rational and Microsoft VSTS and will continue to work to extend this capability to other systems.
Here quickly are some of the highlights of this integration and the associated benefits:
• Allows users to correlate VSTS and TeamWork projects, including linking database changes and updates with VSTS activities and saving extended information about database activities within VSTS
• Provides a single point of management (and audit) for application source and database changes allowing for access to aggregated information about code and database changes within VSTS
• A single vocabulary to drill down into project tasks and impact analysis (what was changed when feature X was developed or bug Y fixed – from code and database perspectives)
• A single process to achieve code and database deployment based on Microsoft VSTS definitions (activities and work items).
We look forward to bringing you even more news shortly on other key activities related to integration with and certification of dbMaestro TeamWork.

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.
