Note:
You'll probably need to turn your sound up just a bit.
Ever make a bunch of changes to your database then lose track of what you’ve
changed? Frustrated with trying to come up with consistent, “meaningful” test
data to test your applications? Wish you could unit test your database? Ever
forget to make a backup copy of your stored procedure before you made that one
line change (that happens to crash the system)? Tired of feeling like you’re not
part of the team?
We’ll take a look at how Team System can help ease the pain of database
development and change management.
This is Part 1 of a two-part webcast on Database Change Management with Team
System 2008. It's a recording of the presentation that I've done at various Code
Camps and SQL Saturday! sessions around the Southeast.
In Part 1 I cover putting your schema in version control, then I make a lot of
changes to the schema. In Part 2, I try to figure out what I've changed, then
create some unit test data and a unit test.
