Hi, could someone recommend a way to bundle my schema patch scripts and distribute to customers for database upgrades. I am considering a batch file that will execute scripts in version order but I was wondering what else people are doing to accomplish this.

Any ideas would be appreciated,
Sue

If you can include the scripts in a batch file that should suffice. Course, it's always best to run the batch file that you are distributing in a test environment to ensure the file(s) run without errors.

I just talked with a Delphi developer and I think he can create utility to handle the upgrades pretty easily.

Thanks!
Happy Friday
Cool

Make sure your scripts are rerunnable. It won't be the first time data gets corrupted because an installation script was run twice, or aborted in the middle of a transaction.
