RE: Versioning the Database !

I am in a peculiar situation where the development & design is happening in parellel.
It would table definitions, table data (Reference Data), View definitions, the design itself ( LDM).

It would be a situation, where there are different schema's need to be maintained at different stages of the project (Devlp, IT, QA, Staging). Since these activities would be parellel versioning would help.

Hence this versioning.

Shree

Versioning the database ?
Take a backup of the database on a seperate tape each day !

What components of the database do you want to version ? Table definitions ?
View definitions ? Packages/Procedures/Triggers ? Code Objects should be versioned, but data objects [Tables/Indexes/Sequences]
would generally not vary once the design is done, save for a few changes/additions/enhancements.
