DATABASE VERSION CONTROL - A Software Configuration Management Approach to Database Version Control

Stephen Mc Kearney, Konstantina Lepinioti

2008

Abstract

This paper introduces a database configuration management tool, called DBVersion, that provides database developers with many of the benefits of source code control systems and integrates with software configuration tools such as Subversion. While there has been a lot of research in software configuration management and source code control, little of the work has investigated database configuration issues. DBVersion’s main contribution is to allow database developers to use working practices such as version control, branching and concurrent working that have proved successful in traditional software development.
