Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> DW and change control: recommendations?
A fairly large (200-300 Gb) data warehouse is in consideration by my
company. One area of logistics consideration is the change control
methodology. Typically, I would recommend a development instance on one
box, and a production instance on a different box (at least). I'm curious
as to what other organizations with a large or very large data warehouse do
in terms of change control and segregation between DEV and PROD,
particularly prior to implementation. One thought would be to still run DEV
and PROD on seperate machines, but to use a significantly smaller box for
DEV and only include a subset of data for development purposes. This can
cause some expected results in PROD though, due to differences in volumes of
data and differences in data distribution (particularly where tuning is
concerned).
If anyone has any stories they'd like to share or suggestions, I'm all ears. If you would be so kind, please email as well as posting.
Regards,
